Billericay Town Hosts Bath City in FA Trophy Clash

BILLERICAY, England (Interstat) — Billericay Town, favored by statistical models, hosts an inconsistent Bath City side in an FA Trophy matchup Wednesday at AGP Arena.

The non-league cup competition provides a break from domestic league play for both clubs. Interstat’s ELO rating system gives Billericay Town a 65.1% probability of advancing, with its game simulator projecting a 2-1 victory for the home side.

Bath City (10-7-9) arrives following a dramatic 3-2 home victory over Worthing on Jan. 24, a bright spot in a patchy run of form. The Romans’ recent results reveal volatility, with three wins, three losses and four draws in their last 10 contests across all competitions. Their away record is mixed, having suffered a 1-0 defeat at Dover Athletic on Jan. 17 but securing a 2-0 win at Salisbury in late December.

Billericay Town’s form is harder to gauge due to a significant gap in its fixture list. Its most recent result was a heavy 5-0 defeat to Bishops Stortford on Oct. 25, 2025. Prior to that, the club showed attacking prowess in a 5-1 victory over Aveley on Oct. 18. The extended layoff presents an unknown variable regarding match sharpness.

The fixture offers Bath City a chance to build momentum before a congested February league schedule. Following Wednesday’s match, Bath faces 10 National League South fixtures in rapid succession, beginning with a visit from Hemel Hempstead Town on Feb. 7.

For Billericay Town, the FA Trophy represents a primary focus, with an opportunity to progress deeper into the knockout competition on home turf.

Kickoff is set for 7:45 p.m. local time at AGP Arena in Billericay, Essex. The winner will advance to the next round of the historic tournament, which features clubs from England’s non-league pyramid.
