LONDON (Interstat) — Two clubs on contrasting form trajectories will meet Saturday when AFC Sudbury hosts Hereford in an FA Trophy fixture.

The match, scheduled for Nov. 15, 2025, pits a Sudbury side that has started the season strongly against a Hereford team still finding its footing.

AFC Sudbury enters the contest with a perfect 2-0-0 record in the FA Trophy and a 3-1-0 mark across all competitions. The club is riding a wave of momentum, coming off a 2-1 victory over Leiston on Oct. 25. Their potent attack was on full display in a 4-0 win against Bury Town earlier in October, though a 2-1 loss to Aveley in September serves as a reminder of their vulnerability.

Hereford’s form is more difficult to gauge. The club holds a 1-0-0 record across all competitions but has yet to play an FA Trophy match this season, leaving its official tournament record at 0-0-0. Their most recent outing was a dramatic 3-2 victory over Sporting Khalsa FC on Sept. 23, a result that avenged a 2-1 loss to the same opponent just 10 days prior.

Despite Sudbury’s superior record and home-pitch advantage, the contest is projected to be tightly contested. Interstat’s game simulator forecasts a 1-1 draw, suggesting Hereford’s quality could pose a significant challenge to the in-form hosts.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time at Sudbury’s King’s Marsh home ground.
