vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Worcester City go into the second round with just one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five games: the most recent round was lost 0-2 away to Needham Market, but before that came a 1-0 win over Knowle, a 1-1 away draw with the same opponents, a 0-1 defeat to Bromsgrove Sporting and a 1-1 away draw with Leamington. Stratford Town have an even worse record, one win, one draw and three defeats: their most recent round was lost 0-1 away to Kettering Town, preceded by a 2-0 away win over Alfreton Town; further back a 0-0 with Racing Club Warwick, a 1-2 defeat to Needham Market and a heavy 1-6 away defeat to Real Bedford. In the three recent head to head meetings the balance is even, one win apiece and a draw in the most recent game, 1-1, played away at Stratford 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.
