Recent form
Buckhurst Hill’s last five league matches have produced just one point: played 5, won 0, drawn 1, lost 4 (1 point). Over that same five-game sample they have scored three and conceded 11. That run has left them 19th in the table with 12 points from 14 matches, 19 goals scored and 27 conceded.
Cambridge City’s last five league outings are far healthier: played 5, won 2, drawn 2, lost 1 (8 points), with 14 goals scored and six conceded across those games. They sit sixth in the division with 26 points from 13 matches and a season goal record of 38 for and 15 against.
Fixture story
Cambridge City have scored 14 goals and conceded six across their last five league matches. Buckhurst Hill scored three and conceded 11 over the same period. Cambridge also sit sixth in the table, compared with Buckhurst Hill’s 19th, giving the visitors the stronger record before kick-off.
Buckhurst Hill need to improve a recent return of three goals scored and 11 conceded in five league matches. Cambridge’s greater scoring output makes them our favourites, but the hosts’ 1-1 draw with Little Oakley on 31 October ended a run of four league defeats.

90-minute pick: Cambridge City to win.
Cambridge’s superior recent form (8 points from their last five league matches, 14 goals scored in that sample) and a top-six league position give them the edge here; Buckhurst Hill’s run of one point from five and double-figure goals conceded over the same sample suggests the visitors should take the three points.
