Perhaps a welcome break from league football as St Albans City & Hitchin Town face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Non League Premier: Southern Central game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at AFC Rushden & Diamonds. 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.

St Albans City form and stats

Last season, Albans's FA Cup journey ended in the 3rd round qualifying.

St Albans City's struggle is real here at Clarence Park with only 15 points collected from 17 Vanarama National League South games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-6-8.

Albans are returning here after visiting Braintree Town in a Vanarama National League South game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Braintree Town.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Albans, as the Vanarama National League South home game vs Hampton & Richmond is only three days away.

The Albans fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 17 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Albans defense is not exactly impregnable. 27 goals conceded from 17 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Hitchin Town form and stats

The traveling awayteam has defeated Needham Market in order to reach 2nd Round Qualifying of FA Cup. Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 3rd round qualifying.

Hitchin has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Hitchin Town, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-7 versus AFC Rushden & Diamonds. Prior to that match, the Hitchin manager M. Burke faced defeat when travelling to Stourbridge and losing 0-1.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against AFC Rushden & Diamonds was particularly ugly (1-7). The humiliation is still top of mind.

After this away game Hitchin return home for a Non League Premier: Southern Central game against Needham Market. That game is only two sleeps after this.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last six meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Albans, three draws and zero wins for Hitchin Town. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
