Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Marine & Southport face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Fa Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Marine nor Southport as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Marine form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Fa Trophy for Marine, as the manager N. Young led his troops to eliminate Stalybridge Celtic, Tadcaster Albion, Mossley and Hyde United, and reach the 2nd Round. Last season, Marine's Fa Trophy journey ended in the extra preliminary round.On the other hand, in the Fa Trophy, Marine has performed like this (both home and away): 4 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at TBC.
Marine's previous game was a Fa Trophy match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Hyde United. The home side are looking to build on that result. Ahead of that match, Marine won a home game hosting Havant & Waterlooville (after extra-time) (1-0).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Marine as they are travelling to their away game against Kendal Town in the Non League Div One: Northern North. That match is four days after this one.
Southport form and stats
Southport was sent out of Fa Trophy in the 2nd round last season.Playing away, Southport have won 3 games, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Vanarama National League North this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Southport are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Southport lost away at Guiseley (2-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A draw for Southport before that, at their own venue hosting Alfreton Town (1-1).
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Southport, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
The travelling fans enjoy Southport's attacking play in away games, having scored 10 goals in 6 league matches away. In the opposite end, Southport have conceded 9 goals in their away games.
