After being promoted from the National League South last season, Dorking began the season with three victories from their opening half-dozen matches but have since started to struggle.
Dorking Wanderers suffered a 3-1 loss against Chesterfield on Saturday courtesy of two goals in two minutes from Armando Dobra and Joe Quigley in the final six minutes of the match.
To make matters worse, the Wanderers suffered a 3-1 defeat away at Halifax Town on Tuesday, with Ryan Seager's 78th-minute goal a mere consolation to goals from Jamie Cooke, Kian Spence and Tylor Golden for the hosts.
On the back of consecutive defeats, Marc White's side were held to a 1-1 draw by Maidenhead United on December 3, as Seager's second-minute goal was cancelled out by Remy Clerima's strike on the hour mark.
Despite being able to call upon top scorer James McShane and Seagar, Dorking find themselves only eight points above the trapdoor to the sixth tier of English football.
With Maidstone United staring relegation in the face, the Stones desperately need a victory at the Meadowbank Stadium on Tuesday.
Maidstone were defeated 3-2 by Altrincham on Saturday afternoon in a five-goal thriller at the Gallagher Stadium, despite Regan Booty finding the back of the net either side of half time.
On the same weekend as Dorking's defeat to Halifax, Maidstone also suffered a loss, succumbing to automatic promotion favourites Woking, despite taking the lead in the match courtesy of Sam Corne.
Before their disheartening defeat at the Kingfield Stadium, Hakan Hayrettin's side were victorious in a thrilling 3-2 victory against local adversaries Maidenhead United on November 26, with Christie Pattisson firing the winning goal of the game three minutes into the second half.

Dorking supporters will again expect McShane and Seager to lead the line against Maidstone, with the strike-force accounting for 24 Wanderers league goals this season.
Jack Jebb and Archie Procter could start in place of Luke Moore and Barry Fuller after the pair were introduced into the fray against Chesterfield in the first half.
Sitting precariously above the relegation zone, Maidstone supporters will hope that Booty will be able to continue his goalscoring momentum after finding the back of the net twice at the weekend.
With Joseph Ellul fully fit after returning from a spell on the sidelines, the talismanic defender is again set to partner George Fowler, Christie Pattisson and Roarie Deacon in the Stones' back four.
Dorking Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Walsh; Fuller, Harris, McManus; Cook, Taylor, Philpot, Muitt; Ottaway, McShane, Seager
Maidstone United possible starting lineup:
Mersin; Galvin, Ellul, Greenidge, Binnom-Williams; Corne, Fowler, Booty, Pattisson, Deacon; Barham
We say: Dorking Wanderers 1-1 Maidstone United
With both sides struggling for form in recent weeks, a share of the spoils looks the likely outcome in an early-season relegation six-pointer at the Meadowbank Stadium.
