Match preview

The FA Cup journey for Havant & Waterlooville and Chippenham Town begins on September 8th, 2026, with the visitors arriving as clear favourites. Chippenham have started their season strongly, securing two wins from their opening three fixtures, netting an impressive seven goals in the process. Their attacking prowess will be a significant test for a Havant side still finding their feet.

Havant & Waterlooville, in contrast, endured a disappointing start to their campaign, suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat in their sole outing so far. With no goals scored and an early loss, they'll be eager to ignite their season with a cup upset. The Hawks will need to shore up defensively and find a creative spark upfront to challenge a more in-form Chippenham. Key narratives revolve around whether Havant can overcome their early season struggles and if Chippenham's attacking momentum will be enough to secure safe passage to the next round. Watch for Chippenham's forward line to exploit any defensive vulnerabilities, while Havant's resilience will be under scrutiny.
