Looking for a quick response to two defeats in a row, Phoenix Sports entertain Haywards Heath Town on Tuesday night.
Against Chichester Town on Saturday, they twice came back from behind, despite being down to ten men, but couldn’t manage it a third time when this season’s F.A. Cup shock package scored a third twelve minutes from time..
As a result, the Sports have dropped down to tenth place but so tight is the BetVictor Isthmian League South East Division that they are only four points away from the play-off zone.
Their form has been patchy at home with four league wins and four defeats so they will be looking to improve that record.
Visitors Haywards Heath have only played nine league games this season as a result of their F.A. Trophy run that saw them progress to the second qualifying round. Unfortunately for them, their run ended with a seven-nil defeat at Royston Town. Away from home their record is won one, drawn two and lost one.
There has been no trouble for the Sports as far as goal-scoring is concerned. They are joint top scorers with neighbours VCD Athletic, both having scored twenty-seven goals, but their goal difference is only plus three as only four teams have conceded more goals.
Jeff Duah-Kessie has scored ten league and cup goals and Ben Allen is just one behind so the club from Sussex will have their work cut out to keep them quiet.
