National League South leaders Farnborough travel to the Bob Lucas later today.
Mark Molesley's side have put together a string of improved league results in recent weeks.
The Terras have lost just once in five games, however, wins and goals have been eluding the Dorset club.
Recent additions of Christie Ward and Jaiden Bartolo have given Molesley more options in attacking areas which was evident in the 1-1 draw against Bath in midweek.
Ward was instrumental in carving out chances for the Terras with two first half opportunities that almost put Molesley's side ahead before grabbing a deserved equaliser midway through the second period.
But, as the league leaders make their to the Dorset coast, Molesley finds himself without Ward, after the forward was shown a red card for a second bookable offence on Tuesday night.
He said: "That is the disappointing thing, it did not just take away our opportunity to win on Tuesday, but now he is not available for Saturday, it's a double-whammy, but we can't feel sorry for ourselves.
"Farnborough are top, they are riding high and a really inform team.
"But it's a great challenge for us and there is no better game to try and get some points.
"We have been competitive in every game this season, but when we can get some wins and some goals , we will get that feel good factor and confidence."
Terras captain Tom Bearwish is set to miss the tie with Boro as he continues to recover from a 'nasty' challenge he was on the end of against Chesham last weekend.
When asked about Bearwish's condition, Molesley said: "He took a nasty knock on Saturday just above the groin, we hope it settles and the hope is it is just bad bruising.
But, it's too early to tell with Tom, he has improved a lot but Saturday is going to be a push."
Molesley also provided an update on the conditions of long term absentees Brandon Goodship and Mal Linton, as it was hoped both players could have returned at the end of this month.
However, whilst both players are out on the grass with th physio, they are both yet to join in with team training.
Molesley added: "Brandon is coming along, we have been really patient with him.
"It was nearly a season ending injury and we got away without having to do surgery we just have to be careful with him and Mal as when they come back we want them to stay back.
"Then we will have a mouthwatering line up in attack with the recruiting we have done in the past weeks and Mal and Brandon."
