Billericay Town Vs Hemel Hempstead Town: National League South match preview

Recent form and why it matters

Billericay Town: Position 8 after 12 league games, with 22 points. The side have won six, drawn four and lost two this season, scoring 27 and conceding 16. Over their last five league matches they have gone unbeaten (played 5; won 3; drawn 2; lost 0) to collect 11 points, scoring 14 and conceding 6. Key results in that sequence include a 4-0 home win over Farnborough, 3-0 against Torquay and 3-2 versus Braintree, plus two draws — 2-2 at Maidenhead and 2-2 with Hampton & Richmond — showing a team that is turning good attacking numbers into positive league outcomes.

Hemel Hempstead Town: Position 18 after 14 league games, with 15 points. Their season record reads three wins, six draws and five defeats, 14 goals for and 17 against. In their last five league fixtures, Hemel Hempstead Town have one win, two draws and two losses (played 5; won 1; drawn 2; lost 2) for five points, with six goals scored and seven conceded. That run contains a 2-0 win at Slough Town and a goalless draw at Dagenham & Redbridge, but also successive defeats — 0-1 at Tonbridge and 1-3 at home to AFC Totton — and a 3-3 draw away at Dorking Wanderers, underlining defensive instability and a limited attacking return compared with Billericay’s recent output.

Fixture context

Saturday’s game at New Lodge gives Billericay the usual home advantage and a chance to press on from a five-match unbeaten run. Hemel travel from Vauxhall Road with fewer recent positives and a league position that places them near the relegation zone; their recent results give them less momentum for this trip. The two clubs’ recent scoring numbers make a straightforward contrast: Billericay have 14 goals in their last five league matches to Hemel’s six, which helps explain the difference in points returned over the same period.
