King’s Lynn Town hope to end a five-game winless streak when they face Woking at the Kingfield Stadium in the 44th round of the National League on Sunday with kickoff at 5 pm.
Two weeks ago, Woking picked up successive league victories for just the third time when they beat Wrexham 2-1 on home turf.
Tyreke Johnson put the visitors in front in the first half when he made his own goal. But after the break, Woking upped the ante, and Max Kretzschmar and Jamar Loza scored in the final 25 minutes to turn the tie on its head.
Before that, the Cardinals ended their two-game losing streak with a comfortable 4-1 victory at Dover Athletic on April 18, when Nicke Kabamba scored a brace to inspire his side to all three points.
Under manager Darren Sarll, who took over last August after Kenny Jackett departed, Woking has won 16 games and drawn four. They sit 15th in the National League standings with 52 points from 41 games.
At the Walks Stadium, King’s Lynn Town came from behind twice to earn a point against Eastleigh. With the match headed for a draw, Gold Omotayo scored what seemed to be the winner in the 95th minute. However, Michael Kelly stepped up and converted his spot-kick in the 10th minute of added time.

Sarll has named an unchanged backline that features David Longe-King, Moussa Diarra, Joe McNerney, and Josh Casey shielding goalkeeper Craig Ross. Kretzschmar has recently been on song for the Cardinals, scoring four goals in his last seven games. The 28-year-old should team up with Rohan Ince in a two-man pivot.
