Holy Blues have Leamington’s number
Form and odds
Leamington FC have won two, drawn one and lost two of their most recent five matches, while Gainsborough Trinity have won just two of their most recent five contests (Leamington: 2 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats). The Holy Blues are slightly overpriced at 2.55, compared to 2.5 for the home team and 3.3 for the draw, in what should be a close cup match this weekend.
Recent results
A 3-1 home win over Ilkeston FC in FA Cup Qualification and a 3-1 defeat away to Bishop's Stortford in the Southern League Premier Division Central were the Brakes' most recent results. While the home side have won once and drawn once in their previous two games, their overall record from the last few months has been shaky (2 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats).
Trinity's last three results saw them lose 3-0 at home to Cleethorpes Town in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, beat Sherwood Colliery 4-2 away in FA Cup Qualification and suffer another 2-0 home loss to Avro FC in the league. Away from home, Trinity have won twice and drawn once in their most recent three matches, which looks like a solid base to win on Saturday.
Side with the visitors
Form and tactics
Leamington's home form has tightened up over the last few weeks, but it's one win, two draws and two losses in five matches with seven goals conceded in that run.
Leamington have been set up to start fast, transition quickly and engage in physical duels by Scott Easterlow, while Russ Wilcox's men have been more patient, sharing the ball, combining out wide and hitting forward when possible since he took over on 1 July 2023.
We don't think the margin of victory will be huge for Trinity, but their possession-based, wing attack is likely to exploit any space left if Leamington overcommit in the early stages of the game. Both teams to score at 1.56 seems more likely than the away win, but the visitors should secure the win in what could be a heated cup match.
- Gainsborough's away record is much better with three wins, one draw and one defeat in their most recent five away games, while Trinity have also conceded seven in their five on the road.
- Trinity have the better overall form, away stats and a record against Leamington to go with (last played in 2017 – Trinity won).
