"We're prepared," said manager Bobby Wilkinson, whose side sealed their play-off berth last week. "Our aim at the start of the season was to improve on last season and make the play-offs.
"We've done that. Now we can see about improving on that and winning the play-offs."
Wilkinson has welcomed having to travel in midweek: "I have to say that I'm glad we're away from home," he said. "I've spoken to other managers who say that it puts you under more pressure to play at home in these.
"We have won at Poole and should have won at Gosport and we can go there feeling confident."
Hungerford will rest Luke Brewer, Matty Jack, Jon Boardman, Diak John and Mark Draycott on Saturday with Sean Wood, Gareth Brown, Scott Davis and Harry Goodger all coming in.

"But it's a one-off knock-out, so you can never be sure."
