A Boreham Wood side, searching for a playoff spot this season, opposed to narrowly missing out last time, prepare for the visit of York City to the LV Bet Stadium Meadow Park.
The Wood's impressive FA Cup run last season may have been a flaw to their league form, but it's guaranteed that the 7th placed National League outfit will be fully focused on the league this campaign, despite recently qualifying for the Second Round of the cup.
Upon returning to the fifth tier of English football, York City got themselves off to a flyer, varying around seven place. A recent drop-off now sees them down to 11th, and without a win in five, John Askey is desperately in need of three points to keep his team fighting for the playoffs.
Failure to pull off an upset at Shrewsbury in the cup turns attentions straight to Tuesday night, where the Minstermen visit one of the five better defensive sides than them, however both teams average just a single goal conceded per game.

Team News
It's fair to say, Boreham Wood aren't heavily affected by injury problems, given they had a 20 man squad on Saturday and everyone should be available.
Dennon Lewis is back available following an illness a short while before the Eastleigh game at the weekend.
Following the completion of a three-game ban, winger Alex Hurst is back available for selection.
Left-back Adam Crookes is still ruled out with a long-term ankle injury, which he suffered at the beginning of the season.
Frontman Lenell John-Lewis missed out on Saturday's FA Cup fixture, though it is hopeful he will be match-fit for the upcoming game.
Maxim Kouogun and Nathan Thomas were also absent, the latter expected to be out for a longer period with a hamstring injury.

Key players
A player that York manager will know well, having signed him up at Macclesfield, Marsh was a product of the Oxford United academy, and has since gone on to play for nine other clubs.
During two spells with the Wood, Marsh has so far made 126 appearances for the club, scoring 35 goals. Of the 15 games he has played this season, the striker has only played three full 90 minute games.
After picking up a straight red card a few weeks ago, winger Hurst has now served his suspension, and is likely to come straight back into the side, where he could make an instant impact against the Wood and add to his two goals for the season
His strength and crossing technique is a useful combination, plus manager John Askey knows the City number seven virtually inside out, having signed him previously at Port Vale.
