National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Waltham Forest or Hullbridge Sports that keep their silverware dream alive.
This looks to be an exciting match with lots of fun and energy as both teams are well refreshed since they last saw competitive action. Let's get started!
Waltham Forest form and stats
Last season, Waltham's FA Cup journey ended in the 2nd round qualifying.With 2 Non League Div One: Isthmian North wins, 4 draws and 17 defeats from their home games, Waltham Forest are certainly not brimming with confidence. With eight home Non League Div One: Isthmian North games in a row without a win, the Waltham Forest fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Harlow Town game long ago, can be stopped today.
Waltham's last game was hosting Crawley Green and winning 4-1.
Preceding that match was a FA Cup defeat to AFC Hornchurch (0-2).The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Waltham Forest here at Wadham Lodge in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (20 from 23 games). Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Waltham having conceded 59 goals here at Wadham Lodge so far.
Hullbridge Sports form and stats
They also participated in FA Cup last season. This ended in the extra preliminary round.It's looking increasingly bleak for Hullbridge Sports who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. AFC Sudbury was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Hullbridge's previous game was their home loss versus Barking (0-4). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Barking was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
A 0-2 defeat away at Felixstowe & Walton United before that.Head 2 Head
