"Starting with the hosts, while some in Stourbridge's camp might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign with their sights set on mounting another play-off charge, the Glassboys are enduring what has become a real crisis. Last seen falling to a 3-1 loss at home against Halesowen over the weekend, Darryl Knights' men are sat firmly in the drop zone and are already eight points adrift of safety."
"As for the visitors, despite missing out on what they had billed as a potential opportunity over the weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate against Royston, Barwell are enjoying what has been a recent turn in fortunes. Storming their way to a stellar 5-2 romp at home against Stratford earlier in the month, the Canaries have come skyrocketing away from the drop zone."
Stourbridge sit in the relegation zone and have failed to win in 13 consecutive matches across all competitions, dating back to September 6. The Glassboys have conceded 34 goals this season and have suffered several heavy defeats including recent 3-1 and 3-2 losses. Barwell have improved form, losing only two of their last nine Southern League matches and moving clear of the drop with a ten-point buffer. Barwell recorded a 5-2 win earlier in the month and have collected seven points from their last three away fixtures, suggesting attacking threat against Stourbridge's defensive problems.
