vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Cleethorpes Town head into this FA Trophy final with three wins and two defeats from their last five matches: the 1-0 away win at Ashton United is the most recent result, before that a 1-2 home defeat to Newcastle Town; further back a 3-0 away win at Gainsborough Trinity, a 1-3 home defeat to Curzon Ashton and, before that, a 6-0 home win over Whitby Town. Lancaster City have won two of their last five, with a draw and two defeats: the 0-2 home defeat to Curzon Ashton is the most recent result, before that a 2-0 away win at Tadcaster Albion and a 1-1 home draw against Tadcaster Albion themselves; further back a 0-3 home defeat to Workington and, before that, a 2-1 away win at Guiseley AFC. In the head-to-head record the most recent meeting, played last March at Lancaster City, finished 0-0; further back, in November 2025, Cleethorpes drew 2-2 playing on their own ground. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
