The Sutton United club members enjoyed the previous game, watching their team host Gillingham and win 2-1.

Midfielder Boldewijn was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.4 (out of ten) in that game. Boldewijn hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

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