This game pits the league leaders who have a 100% home record against play-off hopefuls on a run of seven consecutive away wins. Something is going to give and neutrals will surely put their money on the home side stopping Ware from equalling their record run of eight consecutive away league wins.

There are no neutrals in the Ware camp however and we can expect that whatever the outcome the visitors will provide stiff opposition in what should be another exciting game.

United had been scoring at a rate of over four goals a game following their 8-1 win over Hertford but their three games since then culminating in a 1-1 draw at bottom club Egham on Saturday have seen the rate drop to "only" 3.8. Does this signal a loss of form or a blip from which they will bounce back with a vengeance?

Either way they remain fourteen points clear in the race for the championship and will surely gain promotion without recourse to the play-offs.

We lost the home game 3-1 at the start of November with Alaa Oujdi scoring our goal. We missed a penalty at the end which might otherwise have given the score a closer look but on the day there was no doubt who deserved the points.

United have Scott Donelly suspended whilst Ware are able to select from their full squad though Ben Hart and Alaa Oujdi may still be on the injured list.
