Uxbridge can repeat their 4-0 win over Hungerford from last season
Uxbridge FC are in form in their last ten games (W7, D2, L1) and appear in much better shape than Hungerford Town ahead of Saturday's FA Cup qualification matchup.
Hungerford Town have struggled for consistency in recent weeks, with their two wins, two draws and six defeats in their last ten matches across all competitions a disappointing run of results. The Crusaders last three results have been a 3-1 away defeat to Portland United in FA Trophy Qualification, a 4-0 win at Wells City in FA Cup qualification and a 3-1 victory at Slimbridge AFC in the FA Cup qualification rounds.
- The Reds come into this one off the back of a 2-0 away win over Farnborough FC in FA Cup qualification, a 2-1 home victory against Lewes FC in FA Trophy qualification and a 2-1 home win against Basingstoke Town LFC in the Southern League Premier Division South.
- Uxbridge are the shorter side in this one, at 1.77, but they have to be the likelier winners after winning the last two meetings between these sides, coming into this matchup in much the better form and boasting an unbeaten record at home this season (W5, D1).
A matchup of contrasting styles
Uxbridge approach
Uxbridge are a side that likes to play on the front foot, moving the ball wide and creating overlaps at every chance they can to stretch the opposition. They press high, transition quickly and have enough quality in their side to cause problems when they get it right.
Hungerford approach
Hungerford are a typical English side who like to pass the ball around patiently, and although they can hurt you with the long throw or set-piece, will often look to control territory before striking.
This is a bit of a chess match and whichever side can play their game the best is likely to win, but the higher tempo and direct pressing of Uxbridge looks more suited to a cup matchup. The head-to-head record is also a huge factor in this game – six months ago these sides met in the Southern League Premier Division South, with Uxbridge thrashing the Crusaders 4-0 away from home.
The hosts have won their last three at home and look to have the momentum and belief to get the job done, while Hungerford have taken two wins and two defeats from their last four on the road. It is difficult to see the visitors getting anything in this matchup, as they haven't beaten Uxbridge in their last trip to the Uxbridge Community Stadium.
