Bitesize Prediction: Chelmsford City vs Tonbridge Angels – 26/01/26

Competition: National League South

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 8/11 @ Pribet

Hoping to move within touching distance of the play-off places on Monday night, Chelmsford will welcome Tonbridge to Essex.

Starting with the hosts, while Chelmsford might have endured a real struggle on either side of opening December, the Clarets have come roaring back in some style. Last seen securing a frantic 3-2 victory away at Horsham, Angelo Harrop’s men have come skyrocketing up the National League South standings. Knowing that they can move within touching distance of the play-off places here, the Essex-based outfit will be looking to make another statement here. Including a thumping 4-0 win against Enfield last month, Chelmsford have won three of their previous four appearances. Likewise, Monday’s hosts have recorded consecutive victories across all competitions for the first time since the start of November. However, Harrop’s side have shown some rather worrying issues on home soil. Including a shock 4-1 drumming at the hands of Dagenham & Redbridge on December 29th, the Clarets have remarkably lost four of their last five showdowns in Essex.

As for the visitors, last seen securing their own dramatic 3-2 win away at Slough, Tonbridge find themselves in a similar position to Monday’s opponents. Despite almost sitting in National League South limbo, the Angels have secured consecutive victories for the first time this season and they have also found a recent clinical edge in the final third. Putting in a season-best performance on January 17th as they secured a thumping 4-1 win against AFC Totton, the Kent-based outfit have notched seven goals in their back-to-back wins. However, pencilled in as a real underdog contender when they travel to Essex here, Tonbridge have shown some extended defensive struggles this season. Including an action-packed 4-3 loss at home against Eastbourne Boro last month, Alan Dunne’s side have failed to record a clean sheet from any of their last nine straight outings – a run that stems back to the end of November.
