HORSHAM, England (Interstat) — Horsham hosts Chippenham Town on Saturday, April 25, in a National League N/S fixture that carries weight for both sides’ positioning in the crowded lower tier of English football.

Horsham enters the match on a downswing, having lost its most recent outing 2-1 at Salisbury on April 18. That result extended a trend of inconsistency for the home side, which has managed just one win in its last six matches — a 3-0 defeat of Dorking Wanderers on April 3. Horsham’s recent form includes three consecutive shutout losses and a scoreless draw with Maidstone United, suggesting offensive struggles.

Chippenham Town also arrives with concerns. The visitors were beaten 3-1 at Hornchurch on April 18, a defeat that followed a 1-1 draw at Hampton & Richmond Borough on April 11. Chippenham’s season has been a mixed bag of results: the team has posted wins against AFC Totton, Eastbourne Borough and Dover Athletic in recent weeks, but those efforts have been punctuated by losses to Chelmsford and Bath City.

The two sides last met Dec. 6, when Horsham earned a 3-1 victory at Chippenham. That head-to-head result may offer a psychological edge for the home team, though Chippenham has often found success on the road this season.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projection is Horsham 2, Chippenham Town 1.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time at Horsham’s home ground.
