Theme of fertility and innocence and virginity present in "Maude Clare" are also in "Goblin Market"
Laura loses her virginity and her innonce in the metaphor of her eating the fruit and from that she also loses her fertility because she gets runed by the goblin.
In "Maude Clare" she almost seems to lose her innocence by being the woman with whom Thomas cheat her future wife.
The ending of "Goblin Market also seems a critique of marriege: both Laura and Lizzie are married but the men are not cited.
Also in "Maude Clare" the marriage is highly criticised: she's not happy about the arranged marriege and mad that in Victorian era marriage was the only aim for a woman

Used to describe goblin men throughout the poem (cansupport analysis on gender):

One had a cat’s face,
One whisk’d a tail,
One tramp’d at a rat’s pace,
One crawl’d like a snail,
One like a wombat prowl’d obtuse and furry,
One like a ratel tumbled hurry skurry.
She heard a voice like voice of doves
Cooing all together:
They sounded kind and full of loves
In the pleasant weather

No longer wagging, purring,
But visibly demurring,
Grunting and snarling.
One call’d her proud,
Cross-grain’d, uncivil;
Their tones wax’d loud,
Their looks were evil.
Lashing their tails
They trod and hustled her,
Elbow’d and jostled her,
Claw’d with their nails,
Barking, mewing, hissing, mocking,
Tore her gown and soil’d her stocking,
Twitch’d her hair out by the roots,
Stamp’d upon her tender feet,
Held her hands and squeez’d their fruits
Against her mouth to make her eat.

Lizzie portrayed as a saviour (counterpart of Jesus)

She cried, “Laura,” up the garden,
“Did you miss me?
Come and kiss me.
Never mind my bruises,
Hug me, kiss me, suck my juices
Squeez’d from goblin fruits for you,
Goblin pulp and goblin dew.
Eat me, drink me, love me;
Laura, make much of me;
For your sake I have braved the glen
And had to do with goblin merchant men.

In the asindetic list of fruit apple is the first one (image of an apple in the Bible is the fruit of knowledge that cause the fall of mankind)

Come buy, come buy:
Apples and quinces

both of the poem have a religious theme with the association of Lizzie as a saviour angel saving her sister.
another connection between the two is the images of door: in "Goblin Market" the images is of a passage between death and redemption and the same thing is in "Uphill"

Then suck’d their fruit globes fair or red:
Sweeter than honey from the rock,
Stronger than man-rejoicing wine,
Clearer than water flow’d that juice;
She never tasted such before,
How should it cloy with length of use?
She suck’d and suck’d and suck’d the more
Fruits which that unknown orchard bore;
She suck’d until her lips were sore;
Then flung the emptied rinds away
But gather’d up one kernel stone,
And knew not was it night or day
As she turn’d home alone.

Tore her gown and soil’d her stocking,
Twitch’d her hair out by the roots,
Stamp’d upon her tender feet,
Held her hands and squeez’d their fruits
Against her mouth to make her eat.
