Altrincham - Hornchurch
Altrincham look to maintain momentum against Hornchurch
Saturday 26 September 2026 marks matchday 10 in the National League as Altrincham host Hornchurch at J. Davidson Stadium. The hosts enter this encounter in a strong position, having successfully navigated a challenging period to secure back-to-back victories against Hartlepool United and AFC Fylde. This recent resurgence has provided a stable foundation for the side as they look to assert themselves further up the table in front of their own supporters.
Hornchurch arrive at the stadium aiming to build on their narrow 1-0 win over Scunthorpe United, a result that halted a difficult three-match losing streak. While their form has been inconsistent throughout the opening weeks, the visitors have shown they can find the net on the road, notably in their 3-2 victory at Boston United. Success here will likely depend on whether they can achieve the defensive discipline required to contain an Altrincham side currently finding their rhythm.
