Sudbury come into the game with a 3-0 defeat to Brentwood Town in the FA Trophy qualification. They have had over 2.5 goals in their last three consecutive matches. The hosts also have had over 2.5 goal in their last two home matches. Sudbury will play their first-ever round one game in the FA Cup since 2001. It will be the first meeting between the two sides as well. Sudbury had to go a long way in the FA Cup qualifying rounds to make their way to the first round.
