St Ives Town are welcoming Stratford Town for another important game after their 2-3 result against 9th-placed Bromsgrove Sporting.

Stratford Town could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Non League Premier: Southern game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Royston Town, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Stratford Town.
