vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Leamington go into this FA Cup second qualifying round tie with no league table to reference, in a straight knockout format. Their last five matches brought two wins, one draw and two defeats: the 1-3 defeat at Bishop's Stortford followed a 3-1 home win over Ilkeston Town, before that a 2-0 away win at Stourbridge, a 1-1 draw with Worcester City and, further back, a 0-3 defeat at Bury Town. Gainsborough Trinity show the same record across their last five, two wins, one draw and two defeats: the 0-2 home defeat to Avro follows a 4-2 away win at Sherwood Colliery, preceded by a 0-3 home defeat to Cleethorpes Town, a 2-1 win at Ashton United and, further back, a 2-2 draw at Quorn. The only known meeting between the two dates back to 2013, when Leamington won 2-0 at home. 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.
