Expected score: Dartford 2-1 AFC Totton
Dartford host AFC Totton in the FA Trophy Round of 128 on 14 November 2026. Both sides arrive from non-league football, though their recent trajectories tell sharply different stories. Dartford compete in the Isthmian Premier, while AFC Totton play in the National League South — a tier above. Form, however, does not always follow league hierarchy.
Team form
Dartford
Dartford's last five games reveal inconsistency. They won three of their opening four matches — beating Three Bridges 3-2, Brentwood Town 1-0, and Maldon & Tiptree 2-1 — but have since collapsed. Defeats to Welling United (0-3) and Burgess Hill Town (1-2) suggest defensive fragility. Over five games they scored 7 and conceded 8, averaging 1.4 goals for and 1.6 against per match. The home side can be productive in attack but leak goals at an alarming rate.
AFC Totton
AFC Totton's record is bleaker. One win in five — a 4-1 demolition of Hampton & Richmond — masks a deeper malaise. They lost to Ebbsfleet United 0-5, Slough Town 0-1, and Weston-super-Mare 1-3, with only a 1-1 draw against Maidenhead breaking the sequence of defeats. Across five matches they scored 6 and conceded 11, averaging 1.2 goals for and 2.2 against. A side conceding 2.2 per game carries serious structural problems into a knockout tie.
Head-to-head
No previous meetings between these clubs are on record.
Key factors
Dartford's home advantage is real but qualified. They have won two of their last three at this ground (Brentwood, then Welling's 3-0 away win breaks the pattern). AFC Totton's away form is not documented in the recent sample, but their overall defensive record — 11 goals in five games — suggests they will struggle to contain Dartford's attacking threat. Conversely, Dartford's own backline has been porous; AFC Totton's one strength in recent weeks is their occasional ability to score (the Hampton & Richmond rout proves they can). The FA Trophy format offers no second chances; both sides will be wary of mistakes.
Prediction
Dartford hold a slight favourite's edge. They score more consistently (1.4 per game versus 1.2) and play at home. AFC Totton's defensive fragility — 2.2 goals conceded per game — is the critical weakness. However, neither side inspires confidence. Dartford's recent losses to inferior opponents (Burgess Hill, Welling) and AFC Totton's general collapse mean this is a match between two flawed competitors. A fairly open game is likely; both defences are vulnerable, and both attacks have shown they can trouble opponents.
Dartford are marginally more likely to progress. Their home platform and superior recent scoring record give them a narrow edge, but this is no formality. AFC Totton's defensive record is so poor that they will struggle to contain the hosts, yet Dartford's own leaky backline means the visitors retain a genuine chance of an upset. Expect goals at both ends.
