Weymouth manager Jamie Wells insists league form will count for little when the Terras take on Chippenham Town in the Isuzu FA Trophy third qualifying round today.
The Terras travel to The Thornbury Surfacing Stadium in impressive form, having won nine of their 11 matches so far this season and drawn the other two. One of those draws came in the previous round of the Trophy before Weymouth progressed on penalties against Hartpury.
In contrast, Chippenham have endured a difficult start to life back in the Southern League Premier South following relegation from National League South last season. The Bluebirds sit 18th in the table after just two wins from seven games in the league.

Weymouth will also take confidence from their FA Cup exploits earlier this season, which included a superb 2-0 victory at Premier League South side Bath City.
However, Wells is taking nothing for granted as his side look to book their place in the next round.
Speaking to the Echo, he said: "Yeah, we are confident. We are undefeated and we have a good confidence within the squad.
"They have not had a great start, but it's a cup game so anything can happen.
"It will be about who wants it more on the day and we feel we can get the win."

Chippenham's current situation bears some similarities to Weymouth's own struggles following relegation from National League South last season, but Wells is focused solely on the present.
He said: "I have not really thought about that, to be fair.
"I just look at the last few games and they have won some and lost some, so that is all that matters.
"On the day we'll battle it out and that's what we're going to do."
Wells also provided an update on midfielder Matty Neale, who has not featured since Weymouth's FA Cup victory over Bath City due to injury.
The Terras boss confirmed the midfielder will miss today's clash but is edging closer to a return.
"He's up and running," Wells said.
"I don't think he'll be about for Saturday, but hopefully next week he'll be in and around the squad."
Wells admitted his squad is still feeling the effects of a packed schedule following the club's success in both the FA Cup and FA Trophy.
The Terras have faced a demanding run of fixtures and are preparing for another busy spell in the coming weeks.
"We are a little sore. That's our punishment for having a good cup run, but that's part and parcel of the success," he said.
"Now that we are getting into a period where we will be playing Saturday-Tuesday, Saturday-Wednesday, the whole squad will come into effect."
With momentum firmly behind them, Weymouth will head to Wiltshire full of belief, but Wells knows cup football has a habit of ignoring the form book.
