Cray can cause an upset in cup tie
Cray Wanderers can make the most of their forward power in the FA Cup qualifying rounds this season as they look to put up a stern test to Bedford Town FC on Saturday.
The Wands have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five on the road in all competitions, which is a good record that reflects their ability to get on the bus and perform away from home.
They also come into this with the better form of the two, having won four, drawn none and lost once in their last five. That defeat was a 2-1 home loss to Lewes, but their attacking rhythm has been strong.
Their previous two outings have included a 3-1 win away at Wingate & Finchley in FA Cup qualification and a 1-0 defeat away to Chester in National League North.
Cray Wanderers have also had a good week, starting with a 5-1 win at Maldon & Tiptree and then a 3-0 home win over Chippenham Town in the same competition.
Overall, however, the hosts have won six, drawn two and lost only two of their last 10 in all competitions, a solid return but not quite enough to convince us that they will be the winners in this cup tie.
The Eagles are unbeaten in five at home, winning three and drawing two, making the ground a tough place to visit. Their best chance is to be compact, disciplined and try to nick it on the break.
But Cray Wanderers play a more front-foot style of football, pressing high and looking to hit the visitors on the counter with pace, and that will suit them in this contest.
Ade Yusuff is a goal threat after getting two in five and the Wands have been flying at the other end of late, with 17 goals in their last five on the road.
Cray Wanderers have the hotter away numbers in this tie and if they can keep the intensity up, we think they can nick the game in 90 minutes. Back the visitors to win at 27/10.
