Hoddesdon Town return to Lowfield this Saturday to face May & Baker FC, with kick-off at 3pm. Following an exhilarating 3-3 draw against Cannons Wood last weekend, the Lilywhites will be looking to turn their attacking prowess into a vital three points. With a playoff spot still within reach, Simon Riddle’s side will be keen to continue their strong home form and build momentum as the season progresses.

A Look at the Opposition

May & Baker FC will arrive at Lowfield looking to bounce back from a mixed run of results, having lost away 7 - 2 in their last outing against AS London. Known for their physicality and commitment, they pose a stern challenge for Hoddesdon. The visitors currently sit in 8th, just one place below Hoddesdon and will see this fixture as an opportunity to push closer to the playoff conversation themselves. As their last outing ended in disappointment, they’ll be looking to make a statement.
The reverse fixture earlier in the season saw the two sides play out a one sided affair, with May & Baker coming out on top 3-0. However, both teams have developed since then, and fans can expect another thrilling encounter.

Key Players and Team News

Hoddesdon Town will be boosted by the goal-scoring form of Connor Bolton, whose brace against Cannons Wood underlined his importance to the team. New signing Cameron Road made an instant impact with a stunning debut goal and will be eager to continue impressing the home crowd. Blue Gallagher, still recovering from an ankle injury, is unlikely to feature, but Simon Riddle has plenty of depth to call upon.
The Lilywhites’ defense, marshaled by Jack Gibbs and Jack Riddle, will need to be at their best to neutralize May & Baker’s attacking threats. Meanwhile, the midfield battle is expected to be key, with George Hamill’s tireless work ethic likely to play a pivotal role.
