Maidstone United Prediction
Maidstone United have returned some mixed results in recent weeks in the National League as the Kent outfit have registered wins against Boreham Wood and Hartlepool United but have also suffered defeats to Gateshead and home and away to Dover Athletic.
The interesting thing about Maidstone is that both of these recent wins were achieved away from home where they’ve performed far better than at their Gallagher Stadium with six wins coming on their travels, compared to just one on home turf this season.
At home, Maidstone possess a pretty ordinary record of 1-3-9 10/21 which includes losing 8 of their last 10 at home with only an early season 1-0 win over Barrow to show for their efforts this term.
In addition, the Kent club have managed to keep just one clean sheet at home throughout this non-league top flight season to date, so it looks like they’ll have their work cut out again when Maidenhead United come to town this evening.
- Maidstone have won 6 of their total of 7 wins away from home this season
- Maidstone have lost 8 of their last 10 matches at home
- Maidenhead have won 4 away matches so far this season
Maidenhead United Prediction
Maidenhead United managed to lift themselves out of the relegation zone on the weekend thanks to a 1-0 win away at 8th placed Gateshead, and although the visitors have also produced some mixed results of late, they seem better equipped to get something from this clash than their hosts.
Recent defeats to Bromley and Braintree Town were offset by wins against Aldershot and Gateshead, while away from home, the visitors hold an away record of 4-2-8 11/22, but have lost just twice in their last five away matches.
Of the teams involved in the relegation battle down near the foot of the National League, Maidstone United have won the most away matches (6), followed by Maidenhead United (4) – however, Maidstone are at home tonight where they’ve won just once all season, so the visitors stand a reasonable chance of gaining at least a point here I believe.
Midfielder Clifton (7 goals) and forward Kelly (6 goals) look the most likely for the visitors.
Betting Tips Verdict
With Maidstone’s poor home record, there’s an opportunity to back the visitors here.
