Faversham Town hosts Hastings United in an intriguing FA Cup clash at the Shepherd Neame Stadium on Friday evening. Both teams come into this match with contrasting recent form; Faversham has managed two wins, a draw, and two losses in their last five games, while Hastings is on a roll with four consecutive victories. This difference in momentum could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the match.
Historically, the two sides have faced each other ten times, with Hastings maintaining a perfect record, winning all encounters without conceding a goal.

Expect a tightly contested affair, with Hastings likely to leverage their recent form to secure a place in the next round.
