Match Preview: Croydon Athletic vs Sittingbourne

The Rams face a formidable challenge this weekend as promotion-chasing Sittingbourne visit The Mayfield. With Sittingbourne just two points off the league summit, they’ll arrive eager to solidify their spot in the title race. However, Croydon Athletic will be looking to build on recent results and prove they’re more than capable of pulling off an upset.

Momentum Building for the Rams

Keith Millen’s side showed great character in midweek, fighting back from two goals down at Broadbridge Heath to secure a valuable draw. That gritty second-half performance not only arrested a recent slump in form but also showcased the team’s resilience and determination. Two consecutive draws may not sound like much, but for Millen, it’s a step in the right direction as the Rams look to kickstart an unbeaten run.

The Challenge Ahead

Sittingbourne come into this match in fine form, sitting just two points behind league leaders Ramsgate. Known for their free-scoring exploits, they’ll provide a stern test for Croydon Athletic, especially given the Rams’ depleted defensive options.

Luke Dreher will miss the game as he begins a three-match suspension, while Cian McCarthy is also unavailable due to suspension. This leaves Keith Millen with some tough decisions to make as he reshuffles his backline.

A Chance to Upset the Odds

Despite the challenges, Croydon Athletic have a chance to turn their fortunes around. Playing in front of a passionate home crowd at The Mayfield could provide the boost needed to overcome a strong Sittingbourne side.

Let’s hope the Rams can channel their midweek fight and spring an upset tomorrow!

Make sure to head to The Mayfield and support the team as they aim for a big result. Kick-off is at 3pm—don’t miss it!
