A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Enfield Town fans are optimistic that the difference between 7th and Lewes's 17th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Lewes could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Non League Premier: Isthmian game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Wingate & Finchley. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
