The Opposition
After winning the Isthmian South East Division playoffs last season, Chichester City are at their highest level since their formation in 2000 and are knocking on the door of back-to-back playoff finishes. Having been sat in 17th in mid-December, an unbeaten run of 11 games elevated The Lilywhites into contention for the playoffs. Hashtag United brought that run to an end but wins over Cray Wanderers and league leaders Billericay Town have kept Chichester 5 points from the playoffs with 9 games to play.

Recent Meetings
Invicta lead the head-to-head 2 wins to 1 against Chichester City, although both our wins have come in cup competitions with Chichester taking the 3 points when the sides met earlier in the season. Dan Smith’s early goal had Invicta in front before Jimmy Wild levelled the scores in the second half and Isaac Bello snatched the win in injury time.
Chichester City visited Cheriton Road in 2022 for an FA Cup 3rd Qualifying Round tie. Goals from Ade Yusuff and Josh Vincent had Invicta 2-0 up early on before Ira Jackson jr. completed a 3-0 win late on. You can watch highlights on Invicta TV.

Key Man
With 23 goals in 31 appearances, Jimmy Wild is the joint Isthmian Premier Division top scorer, with 6 in 10 at the start of 2025 taking him level with Wingate & Finchley’s Ogo Obi. Wild struck against Invicta earlier in the season to equalise before setting up the winning goal in injury time, keeping him quiet in the final 3rd will be key to keeping a clean sheet.
