The last two meetings between Hastings United and Waltham Abbey both ended in wins for Hastings United — 2-0 most recently and 1-0 before that — but both were league games at different times. This time it is the FA Trophy, a cup tie with no table points at stake, and the form of both sides has shifted considerably. Hastings United have come through home cup ties unbeaten in three straight games, but all three were narrow wins or draws, the latest a 2-1 victory. Waltham Abbey, meanwhile, are building momentum with two wins in a row and recently thrashed their opponents 7-1 in the FA Vase at the end of September. Waltham Abbey's attacking play of late therefore looks more dangerous than the previous head-to-head results suggest. Waltham Abbey's last 10 games show they are the side that dominates possession (54.4%) and creates shots on target consistently. In this game Hastings United, as the home side, will likely have to push forward, while Waltham Abbey will look to counter and use their midfield advantage to dictate the tempo.
