"However, despite landing an eye-catching 3-1 victory outside of Hertfordshire on Saturday afternoon, the Scholars have once again drastically failed to find any kind of stability since opening up the 2025/26 campaign. Watching their FA Cup qualifying adventure come to an end earlier in the month as they eventually fell to a 2-0 loss at the hands of Hitchin, Max Mitchell's side have mustered just a single win from any of their first eight appearances across all competitions."
"As for the visitors, while St. Albans might have extended on their respective FA Cup qualifying adventure on August 30th as they clinched a 3-1 win against Aylesbury Vale, the Saints find themselves in the midst of what has been a continued rut. Losing their National League South states last season, Ian Culverhouse's side have claimed just a single victory from their first six Isthmian League appearances since opening up the 2025/26 campaign."
Potters Bar recorded an essential 3-1 away win at Chichester but have struggled for stability, claiming just a single win from their first eight appearances across all competitions. The side exited FA Cup qualifying 2-0 to Hitchin and suffered a 4-3 home defeat to Brentwood, underlining ongoing defensive problems. Potters Bar have kept only one clean sheet in their previous 14 outings, a run dating back to March 22nd. St. Albans advanced in FA Cup qualifying with a 3-1 victory over Aylesbury Vale but remain in a rut after relegation from National League South. The Saints have one win from six Isthmian League matches, five points total, and rely on goal difference to stay outside the relegation zone, having most recently drawn 1-1 with Aveley.
