The home team returns to Montgomery Waters Meadow after drawing with AFC Wimbledon (placed 20th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1.

0-0 away at Gillingham before that.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

The manager Cotterill will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Wycombe Wanderers in only three days.
