National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Southend United CC or Braintree Town that keep their silverware dream alive.
The visiting Braintree Town played their last game only three days ago, a Vanarama National League South match. That game was also an away game, at Havant & Waterlooville. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Southend United CC form and stats

Braintree Town form and stats
It might be tough going out on the road again for Braintree, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Havant & Waterlooville.
A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Chelmsford City in the Vanarama National League South.The schedule is very tough for Braintree Town now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Fa Trophy game at Eastleigh is waiting in only four days.
It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Braintree have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeats from three fixtures.
