Billericay Town v Hungerford Town
Where: Steel Team Stadium, CM12 9SA
When: 31st August 2019
K.O 3PM
These clubs shared two thrilling games last season. Late drama produced on both occasions with four of the seven goals scored coming in the 85th minute or later. Like last season four points out of six for Hungerford against Ricay would be most welcome this time around although the hosts have vastly strengthened over the summer making this one of the toughest tests of the season. After seven games these two aren't where they would like be to be come April so three big points could give them a much need push towards the title or mid-table.

Form guide- Billericay conceded three late goals to lose three-nil at Hemel Hempstead Town. They beat St Albans in their last home game after drawing one-one at Hampton and Richmond Borough. Hungerford picked up a point against Dartford on Monday in a two-two draw. It came two days after losing to Wealdstone after drawing one-one with Chippenham Town.

Team news- The only confirmed absentees for the hosts are Alfie Potter and Louis Ramsey whilst the visitors should have a fully fit squad to choose from.

Star man- Jake Robinson has four goals this campaign including late winners against St Albans, Welling United and Eastbourne Borough. He'll be the main goal threat alongside ex Lincoln striker Mat Rhead and Moses Emmanuel. The recently returned Josh Martin scored on his first start back against Wealdstone last Saturday and has put in two defensively compact performances since coming to Berkshire. He scored in this fixture last season at Bulpit Lane and will be a key player if Hungerford are going to add to their points tally.

Head to Head- Hungerford won the reverse fixture last season two-one in Essex after a two-two draw in Berkshire. In 2017/18 the sides met each other three times in cup competitions. A one-one draw at Bulpit Lane in the FA Cup with Billericay convincingly winning the replay six-one. They then met in the FA trophy with the Blues running out two-nil winners at Bulpit Lane.
