Braintree Town face a key home fixture against Truro City this Saturday as they aim to arrest a worrying slide down the National League South table. The match at the Rare Breed Meat Co. Stadium kicks off at 15:00 on October 10th.
Their most recent outing was a 1-3 home loss to Walton & Hersham last weekend. In contrast, the visitors arrive in strong form, sitting fourth with 18 points and unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions.
Recent form and head-to-head
Braintree's recent results have been a mix of cup progress and league frustration. They followed a 3-0 FA Cup win over Needham Market with league losses to Dorking Wanderers and Walton & Hersham.
