Tulips against the Blues
Spalding Utd:
Spalding Utd play a similar 4-2-3-1 setup to Jimmy Dean's but they're quicker and more attack-minded than Bury Town FC. Bartosz Cybulski is their most dangerous player right now, having scored 6 of the Tulips' 8 goals across their last 5 matches.
Spalding's last 5 results (W3, D1, L1) have put them into this game in decent shape.
Bury Town FC:
Bury Town FC are the hotter of the two sides right now, with Cole Skuse's men much more compact and pragmatic, using their structure to catch teams on counterattacks. Jamie McGrath has been their sharp finisher of late, having scored 2 of their 3 goals in their last 5 outings.
Bury have won 7 of their last 10 games in all competitions and their most recent results include a 2-1 away win at Bishop's Stortford in Southern League Premier Division Central 2026/2027 and a 1-1 draw with Spalding Utd in FA Cup Qualification 2026.
Bury to edge it
Spalding Utd have been strong at home in all competitions in 2026, posting 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in their last 5 at home, while Bury have won 4 and lost 2 of their last 6 away in all.
Spalding won't be able to keep this tight, as Bury will be happy to play off the counterattack, so we can expect goals and chances. However, Bury are the stronger side right now and should be able to edge a high-energy cup tie, even if they have to work for it.
Both teams to score at 1.72 is priced as a two-horse race, so the odds are fairly matched, but we're expecting a 2-1 or 3-1 type of game with Bury edging it.
- The head-to-head favours Spalding with 2 wins and 1 draw from the last 3 meetings but Bury have not won their last away game at Spalding.
- Bury Town FC to win away at 4.22 is the selection, while 2.5 goals in the match at 1.81 will likely be a good play as well.
