Dorking Wanderers 1-0 Chatham Town: result and AI prediction
Dorking Wanderers – Chatham Town, FA Cup, Saturday, October 3, 2026 at 03:00 PM (GMT). Venue: TBD
AI confidence: Medium
AI match recap
Dorking enter the cup tie as the home side expected to impose themselves, but their recent defensive record gives Chatham a credible route into the game. Chatham’s clean-sheet form suggests they will be organised, patient and happy to make the hosts work for openings. Dorking’s absences reduce depth in several areas, although potential returns for Annesley, Camp and Pybus would strengthen the matchday group. The decisive issue is whether Dorking can sustain pressure without offering Chatham transition opportunities.
Injuries and absences
Dorking’s confirmed longer-term absences reduce squad depth, particularly with Taylor, Muitt, Gallagher and Forster unavailable. Potential returns for Annesley, Camp and Pybus would be timely, but their readiness remains a selection issue.
