Eastbourne Borough host Chertsey Town in the FA Trophy Round of 128, a competition that offers both sides a chance to progress beyond their respective non-league divisions. The hosts come into this fixture as slight favourites, though the gap between the two teams is narrow enough to make this a genuinely competitive encounter.
Team form
Eastbourne Borough
Eastbourne Borough have built impressive momentum in the Non League Premier - Isthmian, winning four of their last five matches. They scored 8 goals across that run while conceding just 3, averaging 1.6 per game offensively and 0.6 defensively. Their recent victories include a 2-1 win over Chatham Town and a 3-0 demolition of Cheshunt at home. The sole blemish was a 0-1 defeat at Lewes, but they have since recovered with consecutive wins, most recently edging Stanway Rovers 1-0 on home soil.
Chertsey Town
Chertsey Town operate in the Non League Premier - Southern South and present a more volatile profile. Over their last five matches, they scored 13 goals but conceded 10, averaging 2.6 and 2.0 per game respectively. They posted a dominant 5-0 victory over Malvern Town and won 4-2 at Sholing, yet suffered heavy defeats: 1-4 to Hanworth Villa and 1-2 to Frome Town. A 2-2 draw with Chichester City rounds out a mixed picture. Their attacking threat is evident, but defensive solidity remains inconsistent.
Head-to-head
No previous meetings between these clubs are on record, so this represents a first competitive encounter.
Key factors
The underlying data suggests a fairly open game. Both sides are expected to create chances, with the hosts projected to edge the visitors in attacking output. Eastbourne's defensive record—conceding 0.6 per game in recent form—contrasts sharply with Chertsey's 2.0 per game, a significant structural difference. However, Chertsey's attacking potency (2.6 goals per game) means they will trouble the hosts. The FA Trophy format, a single-elimination knockout, removes the cushion of a second leg and adds urgency to both sides' approach. Eastbourne's home advantage and superior defensive discipline point toward control, yet Chertsey's firepower and willingness to commit forward create genuine danger on the counter.
Prediction
The model favours Eastbourne by a narrow margin, reflecting their stronger recent defensive record and home-ground advantage. Both teams are projected to score, and the expected goal distribution (2.02 for the hosts, 1.52 for the visitors) indicates a game likely to produce multiple goals. Eastbourne's consistency in the Isthmian division and their ability to grind out wins without conceding heavily suggest they will manage Chertsey's attacking threat more effectively than their recent form might indicate. However, Chertsey's goal-scoring capability—13 in five matches—cannot be dismissed, and their willingness to play an open game creates space for both sides.
Eastbourne Borough hold a slight favourite status to progress, underpinned by superior defensive organisation and home advantage. Expect an entertaining encounter with both teams likely to find the net, though the hosts should edge a closely contested tie.
