Billericay Town — Hednesford Town : Match Preview and Prediction for September 30,2025

Billericay Town’s Goal-Rich Form

The initial match concluded in a goalless draw, a result that, frankly, tells us little about Billericay Town’s recent form. Delving into the statistics reveals a more accurate picture: in 5 of their last 6 encounters, there have been at least three goals scored. When playing on their home turf, ‘New Lodge’ — the venue for this replay — the trend is even more pronounced, with over 2.5 goals scored in 10 of their last 14 fixtures.

Analyzing Billericay’s Attacking Approach

A closer look at their prior performances paints a vivid picture where goal-scoring is the rule, not the exception. Their journey so far showcases their attacking prowess, with convincing wins against Barton Rovers (4-1) and Berkhamsted (3-0), indicating a team not content to merely defend. Their league results echo this pattern: a 0-3 defeat, 2-2 draws, and a 3-2 victory all point to action-packed games. New manager Danny Scopes himself admitted a lack of quality in the first leg, strongly hinting that his team will adopt a sharper, more aggressive attacking approach at home. Furthermore, the addition of young loaned forward Rio Ondy-Morgan from Ipswich injects further dynamism into their offensive options.

Hednesford Town’s Offensive Power

Hednesford are certainly not a team known for ‘parking the bus.’ Their journey to this stage of the commenced with a dominant 7-0 victory over Coleshill Town. Scoring seven goals in a cup tie is a clear testament to their offensive capabilities. While they might have experienced a run of lower-scoring league matches, this is a different competition where they’ve already demonstrated their attacking power.

Akheem Rose and Hednesford’s Missed Opportunities

Hednesford’s primary attacking threat comes from forward Akheem Rose, who netted seven goals in three games leading up to their initial clash with Billericay. It’s unlikely a player of his caliber will remain quiet for two consecutive matches. The match report from the first leg confirms Hednesford’s ability to carve out opportunities: Jonny Edwards forced an early save from the goalkeeper, Dan Turner had a dangerous header, and Dom McHale saw his shot curl narrowly wide of the post. They displayed activity and intent; luck simply wasn’t on their side with finishing.
