Two contrasting styles will do battle
Bury Town FC make the trip to Spalding Utd, on Tuesday night in a game that could see two different styles go head-to-head. Jimmy Dean's side are an open team set up in a 4-2-3-1 system, they utilise pace wide of the striker and like to go after the ball.
Bartosz Cybulski has been their main man this season, netting 6 of the Tulips' 8 goals across the last 5 games. By contrast, Bury will be more compact under Cole Skuse, they're more of a structured side that look to play football, but are happy to sit back and pick opponents off in transition.
Bury Town are in the better form of the two sides heading into this one, winning seven of their last ten in all competitions compared to Spalding's 4, 3 and 3 split. The home side are in better form than the Blues however, with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from their last 5.
The Tulips arrive with decent momentum, although they have a good recent record against the Blues. Bury Town have not won their last away game at Spalding Utd, which adds a little extra spice to this meeting between two sides who know each other quite well.
Bury can nick it
The head-to-head record reads 2 wins and 1 draw to Spalding across the sides last 3 encounters, with the most recent clash finishing 1-1 at Bury's place in FA Cup Qualification 2026.
Spalding Utd have hit the net 7 times across their last 5 home games in all competitions, while the visitors are a threat away from home in all comps, winning 4 and losing 2 of their last 6 away trips. Jamie McGrath has been the sharp shooter for the away side of late, finding the back of the net twice in his last 5, which has contributed to their 3 goals in the same period.
Bury are the likelier winners here, but the home side can make them work for it. Both teams to score is available at 18/25, but over 2.5 goals at 81/100 is the play.
This should be an open, competitive game with goals, chances and the odd moment of brilliance, and I think the Blues have enough in the tank to just about nick it. An away win in the outright market is available at 161/50 and that looks fair, while a 2-1 or 3-1 type of contest seems very live here.
