Basingstoke entertain Bath City at The Camrose on Saturday, suprisingly the club's first meeting of the season.
Basingstoke shouldn't have any new injury worries going into the game, one of the only positives coming out of the 3-0 defeat at St Albans on Tuesday night. However, Sido Jombarti is suspended after receiving five yellow cards, in what will be the first game he has missed this season. Jason Bristow is still out with his long term knee injury, but Miles Mitchell-Coop could return to the squad after missing the past few games with a knock.
Bath come into the game on the back of a 3-0 victory over Weston-super-Mare on Tuesday night. The play-off's remain a distinct possibility for The Romans. They lay in 7th place, seven points from the play off zone. However, they have several games in hand over the six teams above them, with fixtures still remaining against all the Conference South's bottom sides.
Bath have only won one of their last five away games, although the run included trips to Wimbledon, Hayes & Yeading and Eastleigh. Basingstoke will have to be aware of Bath City striker David Gilroy, who is their top scorer so far this season with 17 goals in all competitions.
Last time the two sides met, Basingstoke were on the end of a 4-0 thrashing at The Camrose with Gilroy taking home the match ball after bagging himself a hat-trick.
