Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Didcot Town & Frome Town face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Fa Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Didcot Town form and stats
Last season their Fa Trophy adventure ended in the 2nd round qualifying.We have seen two home losses in a row now for Didcot, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Didcot are returning here after visiting Barton Rovers in a Non League Div One: Southern Central game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline.
Before that game, the home loss against Kidlington with the scoreline 0-3.With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Didcot Town friendly games in pre-season: Didcot played two friendlies, won 0, drew 0 and lost 2. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Didcot Town scored 2 goals and conceded 7 in these two games.
Frome Town form and stats
They also participated in Fa Trophy last season. This ended in the 1st round.Two away games in a row for Frome, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-5 versus Bath City in the FA Cup. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Bath City was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Oxford City in the FA Cup.It's a day of discovery for Frome Town as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Frome have played four with the results W2-D0-L2 (win-draw-lost). In these games Frome Town has scored 8 goals and conceded 8 times.
