Match Preview
Hythe Town hosts Littlehampton Town in the FA Cup on Saturday, 2nd August, at Reachfields Stadium. Hythe's recent form has been concerning, with only one win in their last five matches (LLDLW), suggesting that they may struggle to find their rhythm against a confident Littlehampton side, who have secured three wins in their last five outings (WWLWL). This stark contrast in form could play a significant role in the match dynamics, as Littlehampton will look to capitalise on Hythe's vulnerabilities.
Historically, the teams have faced each other ten times, with Hythe managing just one away win against Littlehampton, indicating a potential psychological edge for the visitors. The lack of high-scoring encounters in their previous meetings—only one match featuring over 2.5 goals—suggests a tightly contested affair. However, given Hythe's current struggles and Littlehampton's momentum, the visitors may well emerge as the favourites to progress in this cup tie. Expect a tactical battle, with Littlehampton likely to exploit any defensive lapses from the home side.
