At home this season they have only played eight games so far with just four wins and four defeats.

They still have an eight point gap on the teams in the relegation zone and probably need a couple more wins to be sure of safety in their remaining six games.

At home this season they have a good record with seven wins in 10 matches and would expect to make it win number eight on Saturday.
Reading are bottom of the Form Guide with six defeats and now find themselves 10 points from safety and in desperate need of a win to turn things around.
They have an awful away record losing all 10 matches to date this season and after Saturday have still to go to Lydney and Old Patesians.
What Reading would do for a repeat performance from earlier in the season when they beat Havant 29-22 at Holme Park.
PREDICTION: Havant to take the points with a nine point win.
Hertford v Old Patesians
10th placed Hertford entertain 12th placed Old Patesians looking for a win to put some distance between the two sides as a win for Old Patesians could put them within striking distance of Hertford.
Hertford are at the wrong end of the Form Guide after slipping to five successive defeats and need to address this otherwise they could find themselves in a relegation battle.
At home this season they have a poor record losing five of their 10 matches.
Old Patesians picked up a much needed win last Saturday at home to Havant which made it two wins in three matches and has given them a chance of getting out of the bottom three and a win here would help enormously. .
Hertford are looking for the double over Old Patesians having already won at Everest Road this season, 21-14.
PREDICTION: Home win by seven points for Hertford although with Old Patesians desperate for the points who knows.

North Walsham are looking to make it six on the bounce with a win at Regentsholme and keep the pressure on Cambridge.
Their away form has been patchy this season suffering four defeats already in nine matches.
North Walsham were 28-13 winners at Scottow earlier in the season over Lydney.
PREDICTION: Interesting call this one with North Walsham’s patchy away form and Lydney bad defeat last week – but will go home win by six points.
Westcombe Park v Cambridge
