Following on from their last three away games, which saw a win at Tiverton, a draw at Weymouth, followed by a win at third placed Uxbridge last Saturday, the Bluebells return to the South West Interiors Stadium with Bracknell Town as the visitors.
The Bluebells upturn in form has seen them climb to 15th in the league table and with just one home league defeat they will be looking to add to their points total but will come up against a fast-improving Bracknell side who are unbeaten over 90 minutes in their last five games.
Form Guide
After finishing in 18th position last season, in the Southern League Premier Division South, Bracknell Town currently sit in 20th position with 13 points, having won 3 of their 15 league games played whilst drawing 4 and losing 8 and, in the process, scoring 20 goals and conceding 29 times.
After beating both Banbury United and Hungerford in the FA Trophy they travelled to National League South Bath City last Saturday and after taking the lead through Seb Bowerman then conceded a stoppage time goal, and going out on penalties.
There has been an upturn in fortunes in their League form since the recent appointment of new manager Carl Davies. Having lost 1-6 at Gosport on 22nd October the turnaround has seen a 2-2 draw at home to Dorchester and a 1-0 win at Sholing whilst on Monday night Bracknell beat Havant & Waterlooville 3-0 at home with a first half goal from Seb Bowerman and second half goals from Jack McDowell and Noah McCann.

The game at the South West Interiors Stadium in March saw the visitors win 2-0 and Bracknell also won at Yate in the FA Cup Third Qualifying Round, 3-0, at the start of October.
