Bournemouth were due to visit Bedfordshire in November, but the game was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
It is third vs fourth this weekend, as Helen Bleazard’s side will be keen to cement and extend their current seven-point gap to their hosts, while Bedford will hope to close that gap to enter the race for the top spots.
Both sides have games in hand over the teams above them, with the Cherries on 33 points from 14 games and Bedford on 26 from 15.
Pace setters Watford are top with 38 from 16, while Plymouth are second with 37 from 17.
Bleazard’s team bounced back from their first league defeat of the campaign to Oxford, and their first in more than 1,000 days, with a 2-0 victory over Gwalia United last weekend.
A goal in each half saw Bournemouth claim all three points at the Ringwood Community Hub, with a superb Abby Jones strike giving them the halftime lead, before Zoe Barratt scored her first for the club from the penalty spot to confirm the points.
Bedford have won eight, lost five and drawn two of their games so far this term, and currently head a group of three teams within a point of each other.
They have a game in hand over Oxford United, with both sides on 26 points, while Lewes trail by a point on 25.
Last time out, Bedford thumped bottom-placed side Billericay Town 6-0, with the Essex side yet to get off the mark in the league and registering a goal difference of -105 from their 17 games.
Izzy Lane netted a hattrick for hosts Bedford, and goals from Breon Grant, Issy Bryant and an own goal sealed a dominant victory.
Bryant leads the way on the goalscoring charts for Sunday’s hosts, with 11, while Lane’s hattrick were her first strikes for the club in her second appearance.
While Bedford have scored 34 goals, with the Cherries netting 38, they have also conceded 16 to Bournemouth’s eight, so the visitors will be hoping to continue their prolific season.
The Cherries travel to the Ledger Stadium to face Real Bedford at 2pm on Sunday, March 1.
