National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Leighton Town or Leiston that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Non League Premier: Southern Central. That game, against Biggleswade Town, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Leiston.
Leighton Town form and stats
Leighton Town have not come this way in the FA Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Mildenhall Town FC, Harefield United and Abingdon United. Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 1st round qualifying.Leighton Town's results here at Bell Close in the Non League Div One: Southern Central have been very modest with 4 victories, 5 draws and 12 defeats. 3W-0D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the FA Cup for Leighton Town.
As mentioned above, Leighton "killed" Mildenhall Town FC in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Leighton aren't scoring a lot here at Bell Close in the league, with only 20 goals from 21 games. Leighton have conceded 35 from these games.
Leiston form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Biggleswade Town and Halstead Town in order to reach 2nd Round Qualifying of FA Cup. Leiston's mission in FA Cup last season failed in the 1st round qualifying.It's looking increasingly bleak for Leiston who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Barwell was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Leiston are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Leiston play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 4-7 to Biggleswade Town. Prior to that match, the Leiston manager faced defeat when travelling to Coalville Town and losing 1-4.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Leiston, as mentioned above. 11 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
A quick return to home after this game, as Leiston are hosting AFC Rushden & Diamonds in the Non League Premier: Southern Central only three days away.
Head 2 Head
