Match Preview

On Saturday Alvechurch make the journey to Hertfordshire when they take on Hitchin Town in league action. Here is everything you need to know about the game.

How have both teams been playing?

Last week's win over Stratford Town in the FA Cup kept up Alvechurch's great run of form off late, with that being Ian Long's side fifth win in a row. As well as that it was also the fourth game in a row in which Church have kept a clean sheet meaning they come into the game full of confidence as they look for another win to push themselves potentially into a play-off spot. Church saw defender Jordan Piggott and midfielder Babucar Suaune depart the club this week, but still have a strong squad to choose from.

Hitchin meanwhile, start Saturday's game in the relegation zone having only won one game from the opening six matches. Despite this though, they have picked up some form in the cup's winning their last two games, defeating Godmanchester Rovers 3-1 in the FA Cup and edging out Harrow Borough on penalties in the Southern League Challenge Cup. Therefore, like their visitors they will also come into Saturday's game full of confidence and looking for the three points.
