Form Guide — Last 5
Aveley
Aveley's recent form includes a 4‑2 home win over Cheshunt, demonstrating their ability to find the net in bulk. That win, combined with a season‑long 4.0 goals‑for average at home, underlines a potent attack that should translate into the FA Cup fixture.
Brentwood Town
Brentwood Town's last five league outings show a draw 0‑0 away to Concord Rangers and a 4‑2 home win over the same side, indicating inconsistency. Crucially, they have not scored any away goals this season, a clear sign of offensive frailty that bodes poorly for their cup chances.
Head-to-Head
Head‑to‑head history is mixed, with Brentwood winning 4‑1 in April 2026 but Aveley prevailing 3‑0 in July 2022; the recent 1‑4 loss for Aveley is an outlier compared to the overall trend of home advantage, supporting the pick of an Aveley win.
