vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Merthyr Town go into this FA Cup second qualifying round tie, a straight knockout fixture with no league table involved, on the back of two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five: the 0-0 away draw at Scarborough Athletic follows a 1-0 away win at Chester, preceded by a 2-1 home win over Macclesfield, a 1-2 away defeat at Buxton and, further back, a 1-1 draw with Chorley. Truro City's recent record is stronger, three wins, one draw and one defeat: the 1-1 home draw with Walton & Hersham follows a 4-1 home win over Leicester City U21, preceded by a 3-1 home win over Chesham United, a 0-1 away defeat at Dorking Wanderers and, further back, a 3-0 home win over Dagenham & Redbridge. The head to head record dates back to 2021-2023 and is fairly even, with Merthyr Town narrowly ahead in the meetings played. 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.
