Prediction
Considering the current form of both teams, Folkestone Invicta's position in the standings and their effective utilization of home advantage stands out. Although their recent inconsistencies could tag them an understudy against Horsham's resolute defenses, the past encounters lean slightly in favor of Folkestone.
