vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Salisbury 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 1-1 away draw at Ebbsfleet United follows a 5-1 home win over Slough Town, preceded by a 1-1 away draw at Chelmsford City, a 1-0 home win over Billericay Town and, further back, a 1-2 defeat at Maidstone Utd. Taunton Town's recent record is stronger, three wins and two defeats: the 1-3 away defeat at Gosport Borough follows a 4-0 home win over Millbrook, preceded by a 4-1 away win at Yate Town, a 4-3 home win over Basingstoke Town and, further back, a 4-5 defeat at Uxbridge. The two known meetings between the sides date back to 2022 and both went to Taunton Town. 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.
