- Match outlook: Worksop Town FC are the stronger team on paper and have home field advantage.
- Away form: FC United of Manchester have won just 1 of their last 5 away.
- Home stats: Worksop have averaged 1.67 goals per game at home this season, conceding 1.50 goals on average.
A test for the Reds
FC United of Manchester have taken just one win in their last 5 road games, conceding 8 goals in those same 5 away matches. They haven't had a bad run in terms of results recently, beating Warrington Town and Ossett United, either side of a 2-0 defeat away to Hyde United, but they need to improve to avoid a shock here.
The Reds like to dominate territory and control the ball with their full-backs and wide players combining. However, this game will suit Worksop Town FC down to a tee as they have pace, aerial ability and like to counterattack. This could be the ideal game for the home side.
Home advantage could be decisive
Form and home stats
The Tigers have had a mixed run of form, winning 4 of their last 10 and losing 6 across all competitions. However, Worksop have taken 3 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 at home across all competitions, averaging 1.67 goals per game scored and 1.50 goals conceded at their home ground.
Key player and prediction
- Vaughan Redford is the main danger man for Worksop, with 2 of their 5 goals in the last 5 matches.
- The home team are the favourites on paper, which is why I'm going with them to win at 1.77.
Recent H2H
Worksop are the form favourites and have won 2 of the last 3 meetings, whereas the visitors are still searching for their first away win in this H2H. The last time they met at this venue, the Tigers drew 1-1, but I think the hosts will have too much for them on Saturday.
