- Uxbridge won the last meeting 3-0 in the reverse fixture five months ago.
Hawks can’t take off under Doswell
Havant & Waterlooville have failed to win any of their last three matches, and have lost each of those three - a poor run that has seen them slide down the Southern League Premier Division South 2026 table.
Havant & Waterlooville have been stuttering along under Paul Doswell, who has been in charge of the club since April 2019, so they are one of the few sides with continuity.
The Hawks sit 19th on the table with 0 points after 1 match, while Uxbridge are 6th on 3 points after 1. Havant & Waterlooville are the favorites at 17/20, while Uxbridge are under the odds at 123/50 and the draw is 67/25.
Hawks head-to-head advantage
Across the last 2 head-to-head meetings in the Southern League Premier Division South, Uxbridge have won once, Havant & Waterloville have not secured a win and 1 match ended in a draw (W1 D1 L0), giving Uxbridge the edge in the head-to-head.
The Hawks will play on the front foot in this game, setting up to press, using their wingers to stretch the game wide and allowing their full-backs to overlap - while Alfy Whittingham, who has scored 4 of Havant's 8 goals across the last 5 matches, is their livewire and a big threat.
Uxbridge set up in a more compact and organised shape, with Danny Edwards' men sitting deep and compact before springing forward in transition - a game style that should make for a contrast with the hosts.
Form lines tell the story
Havant have gone three matches without a win, while Uxbridge come into the match in better form. The visitors have won 2 of their last 5 matches, drawn 2 and lost just 1, while Havant have gone 3 without a win.
Uxbridge's last 3 results read: away draw with Walton & Hersham, home draw with Poole Town, and a 2-0 home win over Chippenham Town, so they have been in a solid run. Havant's last 3 were away defeats to Poole Town, a home defeat to Yate Town, and an away loss to Berkhamsted - so they have been less convincing.
Uxbridge's away form line reads 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat, so they should travel to West Leigh Park, England, more as a counter-punching side, rather than an aggressive or dominant one.
I don't think the market has this game right. Uxbridge are the form team, so they look more likely to win the game, but the odds are too short and this will be a tight match - so I'm going to back Over 2.5 goals at 27/50 and Both Teams To Score: Yes at 49/100.
