Radcliffe Borough form and stats
Last season their Fa Trophy adventure ended in the 3rd round qualifying.Hopes of three in a row are alive for Radcliffe after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Radcliffe are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Ashton United.
Before that, Radcliffe had a Non League Premier: Northern home game versus Mickleover Sports which ended with a victory 3-1.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Last season their Fa Trophy adventure ended in the 2nd round.Nuneaton has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
It's the second away game in a row for Nuneaton, but there's smiles all around after the 6-2 victory versus Stourbridge in the Non League Premier: Southern last time out. As mentioned above, Nuneaton was the only team on the pitch versus Stourbridge in their previous game, winning 6-2. This could be a tougher task.
