- Sutton United FC are the odds-on favourites at 41/50 for Saturday's FA Cup 2026-2027 clash at Nethermoor Park, but Guiseley's home form gives this cup tie upset potential.
- Guiseley have been in excellent form in all competitions (W8, D1, L1) and are unbeaten at home (W4).
- Sutton United FC have been more consistent than spectacular this season, going 4-3-3 in their last 10 in all competitions, but they have lost two of their last five on the road.
Lions can make life difficult for The U’s
Guiseley boss Mark Bower has made the Lions a high-tempo, front-foot side since taking charge in April 2024 and his team come into Saturday's game off the back of four wins and a draw in their last five.
They were well beaten (3-1) at Harrogate Town in the National League, but came back well to beat Aldershot Town FC 2-0 at home and Worthing FC 3-0 on the south coast during the week. It's been a decent run of results that has seen forward Jordan Thewlis get on a roll, having scored two of Guiseley's six goals in the last 5.
The Lions are averaging 2.75 goals per game at home across all competitions after scoring 11 in four games and should be very competitive in this cup clash against the opposition.
Structured Sutton can get out of the blocks quickly
Chris Agutter's men are the complete opposite to Guiseley in terms of style and tempo, playing a shape-first game on a measured pace and pressing selectively when they can. They have been very steady, if not spectacular, since the start of October 2025 when Agutter switched them to a 4-2-3-1 system, going 4-3-3 in their last 10.
The U's come into this one off the back of three wins in their last five and back-to-back victories, but they've been less consistent on the road where they are averaging just 1.20 goals per game (6 in 5). Charlie Carter has been a useful outlet of late, netting two of their six goals in the last 5.
Underdogs can make a dent
Sutton United FC are the rightful favourites for this one, but 41/50 is much shorter than it should be considering Guiseley's excellent home form and the potential for a cagey affair.
Over 2.5 goals at 69/100 looks a much sharper option in the alternatives market, especially if the hosts can get after it in the early stages and disrupt The U's structure.
