After Saturday's 1-5 reversal against Swindon, Rugby Town boss Tony Dobson will be looking for his squad to bounce straight back on track against the Eagles.

Valley's record against Bedford is good, especially at Butlin Road where Rugby have enjoyed three consecutive wins by a margin of three or more goals, including last season's 3-0 win.

Dobson will have to choose whether he will shuffle his pack after Saturday's result as there are no fresh injury worries.

Rugby have suffered just one defeat against Bedford at Butlin Road back in 2005.

For Bedford, Rushden & Diamonds midfield player Jamie McGuiness has signed for the Eagles on a month’s loan and will be available for the game tonight.

Bedford’s opening day woes continued on Saturday for the 9th season in a row after losing to the division’s new boys, Truro City.

Valley squad from: Andy Stevens, Dan Bell; Liam Nicell, Harry Donaghey, Craig Herbert, Delroy Gordon, Sean Castleton; Matt Gearing, Allando Davis, David Staff, Ben Twigger, Steve Purton, Neil Melvin; Josh Thompson, Jason Ramsay, Matt Wells, David Kolodynski.
