Match Preview

Woking v Hungerford town
Where: Kingfield stadium, GU22 9AA
When: 30th October 2018
K.O 7.45pm
Woking and Hungerford come into this game at the opposite ends of the table. Woking are fourth and are looking to bounce back straight away after relegation from the national league last season. They boast Sky sports commentator Martin Tyler as one of their first team coaches. On the other hand Hungerford are just two points above the relegation zone and are looking to pull off one of the shocks of the season at the Kingfield stadium on Tuesday evening.

Form guide- Despite Woking being fourth in the table they have struggled for consistency this season. After beating Billericay Town at the start of September the Cards have gone five games without a win including a loss to promoted Dulwich Hamlet and, at the weekend, to Bath City at home. Hungerford won at the weekend for the first time in six games. Their two-nil win over Hampton and Richmond Borough stopped the losing streak and got them only their third clean sheet of the season.

Team news- The hosts forward Jamar Lazar failed to play against Bath due to a shoulder injury so will be assessed but if fit will be unlikely to face visiting defender Tarik Moore-Azill who has missed the last two games. Woking have numerous other absentees including former Hungerford player Harvey Bradbury.

Star man- Attacker Paul Hodges is the rare inform player for the Cards at the moment. The winger, who can also play in advanced midfield, won the penalty in their defeat by Bath over the weekend. He’s only scored once for the Surrey based outfit this season but expect that number to rise; however, he will be marshalled by Hungerford’s newest recruit. 20 year old Joshua Martin has joined the Berkshire side on a youth loan from Birmingham City. The centre back kept a clean sheet and scored on his debut in the win over Hampton and will be one of the key players if the Crusaders are to get anything out of the match.

Head to head- These two clubs have never met in the national league south and have no recent history in cup competitions.
