vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Spalding United go into this FA Cup second qualifying round tie, a straight knockout fixture with no league table involved, on the back of four wins and one draw in their last five: the 2-1 home win over Bedford Town follows a 3-1 away win at Spennymoor Town, preceded by a 2-0 home win over Southport, a 1-1 away draw at South Shields and, further back, a 3-1 home win over Worksop Town. Hanley Town have three wins and two defeats: the 2-3 defeat at Bourne Town follows a 2-1 home win over Abbey Hulton, preceded by a 2-0 home win over Coleshill Town, a 0-2 defeat to Stourbridge and, further back, a 5-2 away win at Belper United. There is no recorded head to head history between the two sides. 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.
