vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Canvey Island head into this FA Trophy final with three wins, one draw and one defeat from their last five matches: the 3-2 home win over Cambridge City is the most recent result, before that a 1-0 away win at Newmarket and a 1-1 home draw against Newmarket themselves; further back a 4-1 home win over Grays Athletic and, before that, a 1-4 home defeat to Aveley. Needham Market have won three of their last five, with two draws: the 2-0 home win over Worcester City is the most recent result, before that a 3-1 home win over Stanway Rovers and a 0-0 away draw at Stanway Rovers themselves; further back a 3-3 home draw against Peterborough Sports and, before that, a 2-1 away win at Stratford Town. In the head-to-head record there is just one meeting, played in October 2015 at Needham Market, won 0-2 by Canvey Island. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
