Hailsham are five places and three points below Bexhill, but their form is much better having won their last three fixtures in all competitions, the latest of which was a good 2-0 success at home to Steyning Town in the league on Saturday.
The divisional cup is a competition both clubs will be keen to do well in and at stake for the winners is a second round tie away to bottom-of-the-table Southwick.
Bexhill’s attack will again be without the injured Drew Greenall and suspended Jamie Morgan.
