vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Yate Town go into the second round with three wins and two defeats in their last five games: the most recent round is a 3-2 away win over Hanworth Villa, after a clear 3-0 win over Devizes Town; further back a 1-4 defeat to Taunton Town, another 1-2 away defeat to Poole Town and a 2-1 win over Bracknell Town. Chippenham Town have two wins, one draw and two defeats: their most recent round was lost 0-2 away to Bath City, but before that came a 3-1 away win over Havant & Wville, a 1-1 home draw with the same opponents, a 2-1 away win over Malvern Town and a 1-2 defeat to Berkhamsted. In the three head to head meetings the balance tilts toward Yate Town, who won at home in 2013 and more recently drew 1-1 away, while Chippenham's only win dates back to 2023. 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.
