National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Worcester City or Stafford Rangers that keep their silverware dream alive.

Worcester City form and stats

This is not the first game this season in the FA Cup for Worcester City, as the manager J. Snape led his troops to eliminate Stafford Rangers, Walsall Wood and Rugby Town, and reach the 1st Round Qualifying. Worcester City was eliminated in the preliminary round last season in the FA Cup.

With 4 Vanarama National League North wins, 8 draws and 9 defeats from their home games, Worcester City are certainly not brimming with confidence. 2W-0D-1L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the FA Cup for Worcester City. With twelve home Vanarama National League North games in a row without a win, the Worcester City fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the AFC Telford United game long ago, can be stopped today.

The Worcester fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 30 in 21 matches. Worcester City have conceded 30 in these home matches.
