Competition: National League South
Market: Chelmsford City win
Odds: 2/3 @ Pribet
Sat within touching distance of the play-off places, Chelmsford will welcome AFC Totton to Essex on Monday night.
Starting with the hosts, making a much-welcomed return to winning ways over the weekend as they secured a 1-0 victory away at Chippenham, Chelmsford are now desperate to get their play-off charge back on track. Opening Monday’s return to Essex sat within touching distance of skyrocketing back into the play-off places, Angelo Harrop’s side will be confident of making a top-seven statement here. Despite being last seen in Essex falling to a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Dover, the Clarets should be excited by their success in Essex. Getting March underway with a sensational 7-1 romp against Bath, Chelmsford have won each of their other three National League South matchups in front of their own supporters. Likewise, Monday’s hosts have suffered just a single defeat from any of their first eight appearances at the Melbourne Stadium so far this calendar year. Hoping to secure consecutive wins for the first time over the past month, Harrop’s play-off contenders are rightfully installed as a standout contender in Essex.
As for the visitors, while AFC Totton might not have any concerns over being dragged into a relegation scrap, the Stags do essentially find themselves sat in National League South limbo. Enduring what has become a worrying rut over the past month, the Blues should be bracing themselves for another stern examination when they travel to Essex on Monday night. Last seen on Saturday afternoon putting in another concerning display as they slumped to a routine 3-1 loss at the hands of Maidstone, the Hampshire-based outfit have lost four of their previous five appearances. With their March rut underlined by a 3-0 drumming at home against Woking last week, AFC Totton have also failed to find any kind of defensive stability. Recording just a single clean sheet from any of their previous seven consecutive National League South matchups, it should also be highlighted that the Blues have lost 11 of their last 13 matchups away from the Testwood Stadium.
