Uxbridge form and outlook
Uxbridge FC will enter Saturday's game as long shots at 5.1, but their unbeaten run at home of seven games, which includes four consecutive victories on their own patch, makes them a live long shot.
The Reds' positive football style will suit the cup competition and they have been flying of late, winning eight, drawing one and losing just one of their last ten across all competitions. They've beaten Basingstoke Town LFC, Hungerford Town and Evesham United in their last five matches, so they'll fancy their chances of starting this cup tie on the front foot.
Hornchurch's approach
Daryl McMahon took charge of AFC Hornchurch on 29 January 2024 and there's certainly a change of mentality in the Urchins. The visitors are a well-drilled and physical team that can keep the ball moving well, although they're a set-piece, long-throw and counter-attacking side in the main.
McMahon’s men need a big night in the set-piece department
The head-to-head record is blank, but both sides will be looking to stamp their mark on the game, so we should see an open cup clash here.
An over 2.5 goals pick looks the most likely option in this game, but the home win makes most appeal.
We'll take the win and over 2.5 goals at 1.53 and BTTS No at 2.15 for a home win with no away goals.
- Dominic Poleon has scored two of Hornchurch's five goals across their last five games and he is their best option in the final third, so they'll need to get behind the ball and force the Reds into making mistakes to get their chances.
- The Urchins have lost their last two away games and have only scored three times in their five away trips this season, so they could struggle to break down the home team in a hostile environment.
- Uxbridge FC are averaging 2.29 goals per game at home this season and they really have the firepower to put the visitors away.
