Hitchin Town vs Biggleswade Town Betting Tips & Preview

Hitchin Town to win

Hitchin Town go into this FA Cup replay as the pick, with our model giving them a 51.0% chance of getting the job done at the second attempt against Biggleswade Town. The two sides could not be separated three days earlier, and history between these clubs actually leans Hitchin's way when it comes to settling matters at full-time. With home advantage now on Hitchin's side for the replay, and a head-to-head record that shows they know how to get over the line against this opponent, backing the hosts to win this fixture looks the most sensible read of how things are likely to unfold.

Recent Form

Hitchin Town's most recent completed fixture on record was the draw away at Biggleswade Town on 5 September, a result that set up this very replay. Beyond that meeting, no further completed results are listed for Hitchin in the data available, so there is little else to draw on beyond that stalemate and tonight's unknown outcome.

Biggleswade Town arrive with a touch more recent form to point to. They beat Tilbury at home on 22 August, showing they are capable of getting results when things go their way, before being held by Hitchin in the first meeting of this tie on 5 September. That draw means both sides go into tonight's replay unbeaten in their last completed outing, but neither has been able to find a cutting edge against the other just yet.

Head-to-Head

The head-to-head record between these two clubs is fairly short but tells its own story. Across the last two meetings, Hitchin Town hold the edge with one win and one draw, and no defeats, against Biggleswade Town. The most recent clash, on 5 September this year, ended level, while the earlier meeting back on 4 September 2021 went the way of Hitchin Town after full-time.

That pattern is worth bearing in mind heading into this replay. Biggleswade have not beaten Hitchin in either of the last two meetings on record, and while a single win from five years ago and a recent draw is a small sample, it does nothing to suggest Biggleswade have Hitchin's number. If anything, it points to Hitchin being the side more likely to find a way through when the two meet.

Team News

There is nothing to flag on the team news front for either club. Hitchin Town have no players currently listed as sidelined in our data, and it is the same story for Biggleswade Town, with no injuries or suspensions recorded. On paper at least, both managers should have close to a full squad to choose from for this replay, meaning team news is unlikely to be the deciding factor tonight.
