The two documented recent head-to-head meetings are Hanworth Villa 3-3 Leatherhead on 14 February 2026, at Rectory Meadow, and Leatherhead 2-1 Hanworth Villa on 18 October 2025. The February meeting is the closest in time, but these results have limited prédictive valeur: the squads, division and roles may have changed, and the 3-3 was played at a different ground.

Context & news

The match is a knockout fixture, with a reported £5 625 prize for the winner and £1 875 for the loser. Leatherhead scenario: its recent results, home advantage, and a previous match featuring a goal from a corner and quick counterattacks may favor an effective approach on set pieces and transitions, but that previous match dates back to 18 October 2025.

Hanworth Villa scenario: its recent victories may support a more open match and effective attacking transitions, with insufficient current data on shots, xG, pressing, or box defending to specify this mechanism. No dated standings or verified league-priority information has been established.
