Pre-match analysis, as published 8 September 2026

Buckhurst Hill to win

Buckhurst Hill are our pick to get the job done in this 1st Round Qualifying Replay against Yaxley FC. The two sides played out a draw in their first meeting and Buckhurst Hill have otherwise been on a good run, with the data pointing firmly in their favour heading into this replay. The model puts their chances at 78.6%, and with back-to-back wins in their recent fixtures plus the head-to-head edge, there's little reason to look elsewhere. Best price on offer is 2.38, which is simply the market's take and not the reason for backing them here.

Recent Form

Buckhurst Hill go into this one having won three of their last four completed fixtures, beating Barking at home and Biggleswade away before the draw with Yaxley FC that set up this replay. That's a solid stretch of results and shows a side capable of grinding out wins in different settings, home and away alike.

Yaxley FC's recent record is more mixed. They opened with a win over Thetford Town, then drew with Wisbech Town before losing to the same opponents on penalties. The draw with Buckhurst Hill followed, and their form since has been patchy rather than convincing — a side that can compete but has struggled to string results together.

Head-to-Head

The two clubs have met twice recently, and the numbers favour Buckhurst Hill. The first meeting on 2026-09-05 ended level, but Buckhurst Hill followed that up with a full-time win in the return fixture on 2026-09-08. That gives Buckhurst Hill a 1-1-0 edge in the head-to-head from their perspective, and momentum clearly sits with them going into this replay having already got the better of Yaxley once since the draw.

Team News

There's nothing to flag on the injury front for either side. Buckhurst Hill have no players currently listed as sidelined in our data, and it's the same story for Yaxley FC — no notable absences reported for either team. Both sides should therefore be able to field close to full-strength options, meaning the outcome is likely to come down to form and quality rather than enforced changes.
