Both teams to scoreYes (68%)
Eastbourne Borough host Chertsey Town in the FA Trophy Round of 128, a competition that offers both sides a chance to prove themselves beyond their league campaigns. The hosts come into this fixture as slight favourites, but Chertsey arrive with attacking credentials that cannot be ignored. This is a match where form matters, and both teams have shown they can score goals — the question is whether either can keep them out.
Team form
Eastbourne Borough
Eastbourne Borough have been the more consistent outfit in recent weeks. They've won four of their last five Non League Premier - Isthmian matches, scoring 8 goals and conceding just 3 in that run. Their most recent outing saw them edge past Stanway Rovers 1-0 at home, a display that suggests they know how to grind out results when required. Before that, they beat Maldon & Tiptree 2-1 away and dispatched Cheshunt 3-0 at home. Their only blemish came against Lewes, where they lost 0-1 away. The hosts are clearly in an upward trajectory and look organised in defence.
Chertsey Town
Chertsey Town present a more chaotic profile. They've scored 13 goals across their last five Southern South league games — more than Eastbourne — but they've also conceded 10, which is a significant concern. A 5-0 demolition of Malvern Town shows they can be devastating in attack, yet losses to Hanworth Villa (4-1) and Frome Town (2-1) expose defensive fragility. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-2 draw with Chichester City. Chertsey are a team that can hurt you going forward but will likely leak chances at the back.
Head-to-head
These teams have not met before, so there is no head-to-head record to draw upon. This is a fresh encounter, and both sides will be operating without the comfort of historical patterns.
Key factors
Eastbourne's defensive solidity will be tested by Chertsey's attacking ambition. The hosts have conceded just 0.6 goals per game recently, while Chertsey have averaged 2.0 conceded per game — a stark difference that suggests Eastbourne's structure and discipline could prove decisive. However, Chertsey's ability to score — 2.6 per game — means they are unlikely to be shut out entirely. The FA Trophy format can throw up surprises, but Eastbourne's consistency in the league suggests they have the edge in a knockout environment where mistakes are punished.
Prediction
Eastbourne hold a narrow edge here. Their recent form is more convincing, their defence is tighter, and they are playing at home. Chertsey's attacking threat is real, but their defensive vulnerabilities make them vulnerable to a side as organised as Eastbourne have shown themselves to be. Expect the hosts to control possession and create the clearer chances, though Chertsey's threat on the break means both teams are likely to find the net. The balance of play should favour the home side, but this is not a comfortable assignment.
Eastbourne Borough are marginally more likely to progress, but this will be a competitive tie. Back the home win with caution — Chertsey will test them, and a goal or two for the visitors would not be a surprise. A fairly open game is in prospect.
