Bedford Town host Chesham United in the FA Trophy Round of 128 at The Eyrie on 14 November 2026. This is a knockout fixture between two National League sides — Bedford from the North division and Chesham from the South — competing for a place in the next round. The FA Trophy is English football's fourth-tier cup competition, and matches at this stage are single-elimination affairs where one poor performance ends your tournament.
Team form
Bedford Town
Bedford Town's recent league record shows inconsistency. Over their last five National League - North outings, they won twice — 3-1 at home to Spennymoor Town and 2-1 at home to Buxton — but lost three times, including a 4-1 away defeat at Southport and a 1-0 loss at Oxford City. They have scored 8 goals across those five games but conceded 10, averaging 1.6 goals for and 2.0 against per match. They are vulnerable at the back, which could prove costly in a cup tie.
Chesham United
Chesham United's National League - South form is similarly mixed. They won 4-1 at Horsham but have lost three of their last five, most recently a heavy 4-0 home defeat to Maidenhead. Across the five games they scored 8 goals but conceded 12, averaging 1.6 for and 2.4 against. Their defensive record is the weaker of the two sides, and they have struggled to keep clean sheets — only one draw in their last five without a win.
Head-to-head
There is no head-to-head history between these clubs in the available data. This is a fresh matchup, so neither side carries tactical familiarity or a psychological edge from previous meetings.
Key factors
Both teams are leaky defensively, which suggests an open game. Bedford concede 2.0 per game; Chesham concede 2.4. Conversely, both attack at similar rates — 1.6 goals per game each — so neither has a clear offensive advantage. The tie is at The Eyrie, giving Bedford home advantage; cup football often rewards the team playing at home because a single mistake or moment of quality can decide the outcome. Chesham's recent form includes that heavy loss to Maidenhead, which raises questions about their consistency. Bedford, despite their losses, have shown they can win at home and have won two of their last three at The Eyrie.
Prediction
The model rates this as a narrow contest with Bedford holding a slight edge. Home advantage in a knockout tie, combined with their superior recent home record, tilts the balance toward the hosts. However, Chesham are capable of scoring — they put four past Horsham — and both defences are porous enough that a goal is likely at both ends. The expected goal balance favours Bedford, but not decisively. This is speculative territory; either side could advance with a disciplined performance or a moment of quality.
Bedford Town are marginal favourites to win. The home ground and their recent performances at The Eyrie give them a narrow edge, but Chesham have the quality to trouble them. Expect a fairly open game with both teams likely to score. A 2-1 Bedford victory is the likeliest outcome, though draws and close scorelines are very much in play in a cup match of this nature.
