Chelmsford vs Hornchurch prediction 10.11.2025 | National League South

After finishing 11th in the competition last season, Chelmsford had big expectations for the current campaign. After 15 league rounds, they are only 12th on the table, but the promotion playoff zone is only four points above, and everything could change quickly if Chelmsford continue their recent good form. Angelo Harrop's team won the last four matches across all competitions. In the previous game, they won 1-0 at home against Hampton & Richmond. 

One of Chelmsford's reasons for optimism is their good record at the home stadium. They have a 7-1-2 record at Melbourne Stadium in all competitions and will welcome Hornchurch with a lot of confidence on Monday night. 

Chelmsford's head coach, Angelo Harrop, was very pleased with another good performance. He said that his team could score a few more goals, but he is even more proud of the clean sheet. Chelmsford will surely need defense like that on Monday night against Hornchurch. 

Hornchurch returned to National League South last season when they ended in a solid 9th position on the table. Most pundits expect a similar 2025/26 season, but Hornchurch impressed with 38 points in 16 league rounds. Daryl McMahon's team is the only unbeaten team in the competition and are six points ahead of the next team on the standings, Weston-super-Mare. The end of the season is too far, but Hornchurch surely propelled themself among the promotion candidates. 

Hornchurch are in excellent form with four victories in the last five matches. In the most recent outing, McMahon's team won 1-0 on the road against Tonbridge. McMahon's team is the best attacking team in the competition, but that time the defense carried out another victory.
