National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Alvechurch or Kidderminster Harriers that keep their silverware dream alive.
The hosts Alvechurch saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Non League Premier: Southern Central. Thankfully the previous game, versus Stratford Town, was also a home game here at Lye Meadow. The away team is better rested.
Alvechurch form and stats
Action has already taken place for Alvechurch in FA Cup as they have defeated Shifnal Town FC to reach the 2nd Round Qualifying. Alvechurch participated in FA Cup the last season, where they reached the 1st round qualifying.The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 14 attempts. With eleven home Non League Premier: Southern Central games in a row without a win, the Alvechurch fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the St Ives Town game long ago, can be stopped today.
The Alvechurch fans got no joy from their last match, a Non League Premier: Southern Central game also here at Lye Meadow: A 1-3 defeat against Stratford Town. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Royston Town that ended 2-2.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Alvechurch as they are travelling to their away game against Barwell in the Non League Premier: Southern Central. That match is three days after this one.
Kidderminster Harriers form and stats
Kidderminster's mission in FA Cup last season failed in the 2nd round qualifying replays.7-4-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Kidderminster Harriers in their Vanarama National League North matches away.
Kidderminster play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Southport. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus York City.
A new game in only three days for Kidderminster Harriers, the Vanarama National League North home match versus Chester. Busy days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Kidderminster have scored 21 goals in 17 league games away. As opposed to that, Kidderminster have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.
