Berko‘s current form is very impressive as they sit in second place in the table, having gone so close to a play off spot last season. Their only defeats in their last six have come away from home at Yaxley and Corby. Their current average home crowds are up on last season as well, as the Hertfordshire outfit ride their current wave of success. Rovers did manage to take four points from Berko last season, which should encourage Walnut Boys’ fans.
Kempston have Fin Brennan back from his suspension for this game following his red card at Bedworth. Jordan Wright was forced off late against Thame as was Stefan Bailey, both have all week to recover as Kempston are without a midweek game. Forward Jake Newman sits on 49 Rovers goals after his last strike made it seven in seven appearances, while Robbie Goodman will tick on to 199 appearances for the Walnut Boys in this one if selected.
