Buckhurst Hill arrive as the in-form side, dropping 5 past Welling and shutting out Harlow, while Yaxley are stuck in neutral after that stalemate. The hosts have momentum; the visitors have... hope.
Key storylines:
- **Buckhurst Hill's attack vs Yaxley's defense** — the hosts proved they can score freely (5-1 win), but Yaxley held them to a draw last time
- **Dead rubber fatigue** — replays punish tired legs; whoever's fresher gets the edge
- **Home advantage redux** — Buckhurst Hill know this pitch; Yaxley know they can get a result here
Expected lineups:
- **Buckhurst Hill**: Predictable XI coming off back-to-back wins
- **Yaxley FC**: Unchanged from the first meeting, chasing an upset
Prediction:
**Buckhurst Hill 2–0 Yaxley FC**
Hosts lean into their recent purple patch and break the deadlock early. Yaxley's resilience in the first game won't survive round two.
