An enticing FA Cup clash
Paul Wilkinson has been in charge of Bury FC since July 2019, and with the Shakers well established with him at the helm, it seems as though Wilkinson's identity at this club is finally taking shape.
Bury FC play on the front foot, with high pressing, wide-overloads, and quick combination play, and while this is an exciting brand of football to watch, it is also liable to get them into trouble in the final stages of this season.
Wilkinson's side arrive on Saturday on the back of a 4-0 home win over Emley AFC, a 5-1 win over Workington AFC and a 3-3 draw with Gainsborough Trinity, in which they won the shootout 6-5.
Bury's attacking flair is clear, and the fact that Owen Robinson has scored 2 of their last 5 goals suggests that the Shakers could get a timely boost in the front third.
Bromsgrove Sporting, on the other hand, are a much more pragmatic side, and their style of play is to serve the ball into the box, win the aerial duels, and then make their money on the counter-attack.
This is a classic clash of styles that tends to produce exciting, end-to-end football, and that could well be the case here.
An end-to-end affair
Bromsgrove Sporting have been unbeaten in their last 5, picking up 4 wins and 1 draw. Away from home, they have been unbeaten in their last 4 trips, and their recent 3 results were a 3-2 win away to Stratford Town, a 1-0 victory away to Racing Club Warwick, and a 1-1 home draw with Leamington FC.
Ollie Harrison has scored 3 of Bromsgrove's last 5 goals, and the firepower of the Rouslers will be the main outlet.
At home, Bury have won 6 of their 7 games across all competitions, and have scored a total of 34 goals in those 7 games. This is a nasty number to have to face in the FA Cup run-in.
The price on Bury FC to win here is fair at 81/100, and we are taking them to get the job done. Bromsgrove have shown their ability to travel well and keep the game close, but it's the hosts who are going to be more likely to come out on top here.
