Match Preview

Alvechurch come into this game on the back of a demoralising 1-5 home defeat to Barwell on Tuesday and desperately needing 3 points to remain in the race for the play-offs.

Hitchin currently sit in 15th place, on 45 points from 36 games, so are clear of relegation worries, after losing 14 and drawing 5 of their first 24 league games and only 1 win from their first 13 league games.

Current form guide shows Alvechurch losing 3 and drawing 1 of their last 6 games.
Hitchin on the other hand, have picked up remarkably, winning 8 and drawing 1 of their last 12 games.

So make no mistake, this will be another tough match for Church.

Our first meeting this season ended in a 1-1 draw, with Charlie Smith scoring with an excellent free kick after 12' and Josh March equalising after 51'

Hitchin reached the 1st round proper of the FA Cup before losing to Solihull Moors.
However the £55k prize money already banked, eased the disappointment of defeat.

Church deadline day loan signing, James Roberts, comes immediately into the squad to add some more firepower
