Their most recent match ended in a 1-1 draw against Stourbridge, adding to a sequence of four draws and one loss in their last five fixtures.

Leiston beat Hitchin Town 2-0 earlier this year and has claimed victory in three out of the last five meetings, with the latest match-up ending securely in their favor at 3-0.

Key factors
For Hitchin Town, turning around their scoring issues will be key as they will need more than just team effort to break down Leiston's defense. To compete, they will aim for a more aggressive offense, perhaps leaning on established players to create chances. Leiston's ability to score in bursts has proven beneficial, which means they may focus on quick transitions to exploit any defensive lapses from the home side.
Prediction
Considering Leiston's recent scoring success and Hitchin Town's defensive lapses alongside their historical performance against each other, Leiston emerges as a strong contender to secure a win. Their knack for finding the back of the net could outmatch Hitchin’s ability to defend effectively, making an away victory seem plausible in this match-up.
Overall, the match looks to favour an away win for Leiston given their more potent attack and recent favorable encounters against Hitchin Town.
