📈 Chelmsford v Braintree Form & Stats

Chelmsford come into this game in high spirits, after recording a 1-0 win over Dover in midweek, a side now one place above them in the league table. That was their first win in four games, after failing to record a victory against three top 10 sides in AFC Totton, Worthing and Dorking. With just 13 goals scored in the league, only four sides have a lower tally.

Their most high profile player and current top goalscorer is 35-year-old Lyle Taylor, who enjoyed fruitful spells with AFC Wimbledon and Charlton Athletic within the last decade. Ricky Holmes may also be a recognisable name to lower league fans, back with the club where he started his career.

This is going to be a tough one for Braintree, who languish in the National League relegation zone, particularly away from home, where they have just four points from eight games. Their only win in their last eight games came in the qualifying round of the FA Cup against Farnborough, who have six fewer points than this weekend's opponents, Chelmsford.

Recognisable players amongst their ranks include lower league penalty supremo John Akinde, a wrecking ball of a striker in his prime, and son of John Terry, Frankie, on loan from Colchester United.
