Chatham Town's numbers in the Isthmian Premier show ten wins, one draw and nine losses from 20 matches, with 43 scored and 29 conceded. They can score freely, but they've also shipped some heavy beatings along the way, including a 0-6 defeat to Potters Bar Town, a 0-4 loss at Egham Town and a 0-3 reverse at Whitehawk. It's a stop-start pattern rather than a settled one.

Both teams have shown they can concede in bunches, which matters more than their overall records suggest.

Comparative Team Statistics: Dorking Wanderers vs Chatham Town

How this one might play out

Dorking play a level above Chatham day to day, but their own defensive record isn't exactly watertight, and several of their recent league games have finished level. Chatham's attack has had good days, but their defence has cracked badly more than once this season.

Given how open both sides have been at the back, this has the look of a game where goals could come from either end. The gap in level should count for something, but neither team has shown the consistency to make that a formality.
