Competition: National League South
Market: Chelmsford City wins
Chances: 3/2 @Pribet
Chelmsford, two sides separated by just one point in the National League South standings, welcome Maidstone to Essex on Monday evening.
Starting with the hosts, while Chelmsford might have ended January with a nightmare 5-0 drumming at the hands of Slough, it seems the shock display was just a minor mistake for the Clarets. Angelo Harrop’s side immediately returned to victory last time out as they powered their way to a 3-1 victory against Hampton & Richmond. Angelo Harrop’s side have found a route to the top half of the National League South standings and they could be dreaming of the chance to build a late play-off charge in 2026. Including an action-packed 3-2 win against Horsham on January 24, the Essex-based team have won four of their previous five matches and should do so. convinced to make another statement here. Similarly, Chelmsford, last seen at Melbourne Stadium, have recorded back-to-back 1-0 wins against Tonbridge and Weston-super-Mare, recording back-to-back wins at Essex for the first time since early November.
As for the visitors, while Maidstone might have opened the 2025/2026 season with many pegging them as a genuine play-off contender, George Elokobi’s side have completely failed to find any form of stability. The former Wolves defender has fallen down the National League South table and has seen his dismal side lose each of their previous three consecutive outings as they enjoy their longest winless run since September. The Kent team sacrificed their place in the top half of the table and also continued to exhibit some worrying defensive issues. In fact, the Stones have lost each of their last three games in a row by an aggregate score of 6-3 and have only kept one clean sheet since Boxing Day. Likewise, including the 3-1 defeat to Eastbourne Boro on February 10, it should also be noted that Maidstone have managed just one win on their travels since the end of November.
