National League 2026-2027 fixture
AFC Hornchurch have had a strong start to the National League 2026/2027 season, sitting 7th with 6 points from 3 matches. Woking are 18th with 3 points from 3 games. Hornchurch's 3-0 home win over Kidderminster Harriers, 2-1 away win at Barrow FC and 4-1 away loss to Carlisle United in their last 3 National League 2026/2027 games suggest they will have enough momentum to secure the spoils.
Woking's away form has been a little disappointing thus far, failing to win in 1 away game, picking up 0 points and conceding 2.00 goals per match on average. In their two National League 2026/2027 matches, they have lost 2-0 away to Gateshead and won 3-2 at home to AFC Fylde.
Daryl McMahon’s Urchins are a well-oiled machine
Daryl McMahon's Hornchurch are an organised team with a possession-based style that keeps the ball well, breaks with speed and are always a threat from set pieces and on the counter-attack. They have their top scorer in Joseph Kizzi, who has 3 of the 7 goals they've scored in their last 5 games, and look a cut above the opposition this Friday.
Woking have been working on finding their identity after a managerial change, but are still more often than not failing to keep the ball in the right areas of the pitch and don't have the same rhythm when pressing. When they do play with the ball, they try to control the game from the back, but are often caught out when trying to play through the thirds.
Hornchurch to win at 23/20
We're keen to get some skin in the game on this one, even though both teams to score looks live at 13/20. With Hornchurch yet to concede a goal at home in the National League 2026/2027, we feel the best way to play this game is for a home win. The Urchins are the likelier winner and Woking's poor away form so far suggests they may struggle to keep the score level, so a narrow home victory is the best play here.
