Eastbourne Town welcome Merstham on Saturday, Dec 12 at 4:00 PM in a Isthmian League – South East Division fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Eastbourne Town come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 4). Merstham, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Eastbourne Town won their last outing, while Merstham 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 Eastbourne Town win or a draw looks most likely.
