Hitchin Town vs Biggleswade Town Preview
Hitchin Town welcome their local rivals back to Top Field for this FA Cup replay after the first leg finished level at 1-1. Michael Jones's side needed Temi Akinbusoye's goal to salvage a draw, and the manager himself acknowledged before that initial encounter that his squad required a significant uplift in performance. Hitchin boast a strong home record against Biggleswade, winning seven of eleven previous meetings at this ground, which gives them a clear psychological edge.
Biggleswade Town arrive with quiet confidence after securing a creditable draw on the road, with Rio Dasilva's strike and Ashton Broome-Alexander's penalty save from Kye Tearle proving pivotal moments. Brett Donnelly's side picked up a league victory since that first leg, suggesting decent momentum. Several former Hitchin players feature prominently in Biggleswade's ranks, adding spice to this derby. With £2,250 in prize money awaiting the winner, neither side will lack motivation.
Hitchin's home record against Biggleswade is formidable, with seven wins from eleven meetings at Top Field. That historical dominance makes the double chance 1X an appealing selection, covered by the home win price at 1.89. The Canaries will fancy their chances of finishing the job in front of their own supporters after sharing the spoils in the first leg.
Biggleswade showed resilience in that initial encounter, with Rio Dasilva's goal and Ashton Broome-Alexander's penalty save keeping them firmly in the tie. Brett Donnelly's side have strung together a draw and a win in recent outings, suggesting they are no pushovers. Still, travelling to Top Field for a replay is a different proposition, and Hitchin's familiarity with their own pitch should prove decisive.
The presence of four former Hitchin players in the Biggleswade squad adds spice to this local derby, though sentiment rarely counts for much in knockout football. With £2,250 in prize money awaiting the victors, both sides will be desperate to progress. Backing the home or draw outcome looks the shrewdest route here, with the draw available at 3.60 providing additional cover. Odds correct at time of publication.
