Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Bognor Regis Town & Waltham Abbey face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Fa Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Bognor nor Waltham Abbey as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Bognor Regis Town form and stats
Last season, Bognor Regis Town's Fa Trophy journey ended in the 2nd round.Bognor's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-4 versus Folkestone Invicta. A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Folkestone Invicta) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-4. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
A 0-0 draw away in the Non League Premier: Isthmian before that, with Bowers & Pitsea the opponent.Bognor have prepared for this season with three friendly games versus mixed opposition. Results from training matches should always be treated with caution, but the takeaways from these three matches are 1 victories, 0 draws and 2 losses. In these games, Bognor Regis Town have scored 4 goals and conceded 6 times.
Waltham Abbey form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated East Grinstead Town in order to reach 3rd round qualifying of Fa Trophy. Waltham was sent out of Fa Trophy in the 2nd round qualifying last season.The manager was unhappy after their last game, a Non League Div One: Southern Central match played at their home ground Capershotts. Waltham suffered a 0-2 loss to AFC Dunstable.
A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Wantage Town.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Waltham manager as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Welwyn Garden City.
