Grantham Town return to home action this afternoon as they welcome Melton Town to the South Kesteven Sports Stadium for their sixth league fixture of the 2025/26 campaign.

After a solid start to the season, the Gingerbreads currently sit 4th in the United Counties League Premier Division North with 9 points from their opening five matches. A win today could move Grantham closer to the early pace-setters and maintain pressure on the top three.

Melton Town arrive in 16th place, having picked up 4 points from their first four games. They'll be looking to bounce back following a mixed start and will view this fixture as an opportunity to test themselves against one of the division's early front-runners.

What to Expect

Grantham have shown strong home form and will be looking to assert themselves early in this fixture. Recent performances have demonstrated a growing confidence in attack, with chances being created from wide areas and set pieces.

Melton, meanwhile, have struggled for consistency but will pose a threat if given space to play. They will likely aim to frustrate Grantham and make use of the counter-attack or dead-ball situations.

Manager’s View

The coaching staff will be keen to see the team continue to build momentum and maintain discipline, particularly against a side that may come with a defensive mindset and look to disrupt Grantham’s rhythm.
