Maidstone vs Stevenage Prediction

Maidstone Form

In their last six FA Cup home matches, Maidstone racked up five strong wins, but no draws as they lost once. They scored 13 and conceded seven goals.

Stevenage Form

It is all or nothing with Stevenage, who only triumphed once in their previous three outings. They were defeated 2-1 against Barnsley, before beating Northampton 3-0. Unable to build on that, they lost 2-1 against Portsmouth. In their last six FA Cup away matches, Stevenage won a very acceptable four times. They've also drawn none and lost twice, scoring 16 while also conceding 13 times.

Bookmakers have Stevenage down as rather big favourites for the win against Maidstone. While the hosts will obviously come out fighting, we still think the visitors will prevail in the end.
