Lewes manager Steve Brown has said that the most important thing about Tuesday night's relegation clash is to "not concede."
Steve Brown has had a tough start to his reign at Lewes, triumphing 1-0 over play off chasing Kingstonian in his first game in charge before being defeated 2-1 away to table topping Maidstone on Saturday, however despite being at the other end of the table, Hornchurch are expected to be just as tough.
All games in the Ryman Premier League are difficult. Both Lewes and Hornchurch have picked up a bit of form and both are now looking to push on and move away from the relegation zone to ensure their safety and remain in the division for next year.
It is a huge game for both sides. Lewes are only 3 points ahead of Hornhcurch and the Essex side have a game in hand.
Hornchurch have just won 2 games in a row including a win over 3rd place Dulwich Hamlet.
George Purcell has started hitting some form for Hornchurch and Lewes will need to be wary of the threat that him and the leagues third top scorer, Kieran Bishop, bring to the table.
While the game will certainly not be the final say in the race for safety with 8 more games after this one left to play, it could be a huge step in the right direction for whoever comes out on top.
The game kicks off at 7.45pm on Tuesday night.
