Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Barking & Harlow Town face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Fa Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Harlow Town have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-6-22 (win-draw-loss) from 38 matches.
Barking form and stats
Action has already taken place for Barking in Fa Trophy as they have defeated AFC Sudbury to reach the 2nd Round Qualifying. Last season, Barking's Fa Trophy journey ended in the 1st round qualifying replays.The fans are hoping that Barking will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the FA Cup game against Hartley Wintney. Preceding that match was the home Non League Div One: Isthmian South game against FC Romania that was lost 1-2.
The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Ware in only three days.
Harlow Town form and stats
They also participated in Fa Trophy last season. This ended in the extra preliminary round replays.It's looking increasingly bleak for Harlow Town who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. FC Romania was the last time a defeat was avoided. It's all red in the travel logs of Harlow Town, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.
Harlow failed to get anything from their last game, a Non League Div One: Isthmian South home match vs Hanwell Town that ended with defeat 0-3.
It's a day of discovery for Harlow Town as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Harlow Town have played one with the results W1-D0-L0 (win-draw-lost). In these games Harlow Town has scored 2 goals and conceded 1 time.
