**Uxbridge rolls into the Cup with zero losses in their last five, while Hornchurch's stumble vs Harrogate shows they can get dismantled on their day.** This is a proper contrast in momentum vibes. 🔥

Uxbridge are buzzing — three wins and two draws, grinding out results and looking solid. Hornchurch have the wins to show for it (three in five) but also the concerning L's, including that 0-3 shocker away to Harrogate Town.

Key storylines:

- **Uxbridge's defensive wall** has conceded just one goal in their last two matches; **A. Hassane** and the back line will be key to shutting down Hornchurch's tempo
- **F. Amartey and F. Monk** lead Uxbridge's attack and will test Hornchurch's resolve when things get scrappy
- **A. Yearwood** and **H. Hearn** are Hornchurch's creative outlet, but they'll face a Uxbridge side with no recent losses to scare them

Expected lineups:

- **Uxbridge**: A. Hassane, A. Queally, A. Massey, H. Gallagher, J. Burchell, A. Witham, C. Bocarro, C. Davis, A. Brandao, F. Amartey, F. Monk
- **Hornchurch**: A. Nasta, T. Dallison, R. Inniss, F. L. Edwards, S. Ling, J. Powell, C. Pegrum, H. Hearn, A. Yearwood, A. Rowe, J. Walker

Prediction:

**Uxbridge 2–1 Hornchurch** — Uxbridge's form is too hot to ignore; they'll edge it in a tight Cup tie. ⚽
