National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Chelmsford City or Redditch United that keep their silverware dream alive.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Chelmsford City form and stats
Chelmsford City was eliminated in the 2nd round last season in the Fa Trophy.Chelmsford's previous game was also a home event, the defeat 0-1 against Barnet (in FA Cup).
Preceding that match was a Vanarama National League South defeat to Hampton & Richmond (0-2).The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Chelmsford City's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 5 games, won 3 matches, drawn 2 and lost 0.
It's been an intense period of training leading up to this game for Chelmsford City, who have participated in two training matches. Chelmsford City have won 1 of these, drawn 0 and were beaten in 1 game.
Redditch United form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated AFC Totton and Hitchin Town in order to reach 2nd round of Fa Trophy. Redditch United's mission in Fa Trophy last season failed in the 3rd round qualifying.Redditch had fun at their own home (Melbourne Cricket Ground) last time out, beating Mickleover Sports 2-1.
A 0-0 draw at Tamworth's stadium before that.Looking at the earlier recent performances of Redditch United when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 4 matches with the visitors losing 1 time, drawing 3 and winning 0 games.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Redditch manager as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Stratford Town.
