Deal Town welcome Erith Town at The Charles Ground, Deal, Kent on Saturday, Jan 16 at 4:00 PM in a Isthmian League – South East Division fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Deal Town come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Erith Town, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Deal Town won their last outing, while Erith Town suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Deal Town win or a draw looks most likely.
