Matches

The Hawks travel to Princes Park Stadium to face Dartford on Saturday. It will be the first time these two sides have met since their play-off semi-final back in July, where the Darts came out 2-1 victors.

 

Paul Doswell’s men will be looking to go one better than the hosts this season and earn promotion to the National League.

 

An opening day blip against Maidstone doesn’t look to have affected the team and their ambitions for the season, as they have deservedly won every game since. The away side remain undefeated this campaign, winning four out of their five games played.

 

Brilliant displays away at Billericay and then Bath last week in the FA Cup have seen confidence levels boosted heading into a tough game against Dartford.

 

The Hawks are unbeaten on the road in the League since April 2019 and will be hoping to extend their run of form and condemn the home side to their first league defeat of the season.

 

The Darts sit top of the National League South, with their only loss this campaign coming in the FA Cup Second Qualifying Round against Slough Town.

 

Having scored just four goals in their opening four League games, Havant will be encouraged that if they can keep it tight at the back, they will be able to outscore their opponents. Although, just the one goal conceded in those four games for Dartford has seen them get the results to put them top.

 

Hawks striker, Joe Iaciofano will be hoping to get back on the scoresheet. With four to his name already, Iaciofano will feel he can add to that tally when he faces a team he scored against last season while playing for St Albans.
