Perhaps a welcome break from league football as St Albans City & Kidderminster Harriers 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!
St Albans City form and stats
St Albans City participated in Fa Trophy the last season, where they reached the 4th round.St Albans City are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Eastbourne Borough.
Previous to that game, a Vanarama National League South home match hosting Weymouth in a game that was won 3-2.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Albans have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 6 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 2 and lost 2.
The match schedule is unforgiving for St Albans City as they have a new game in only three days, a Hertfordshire Senior Challenge Cup match thankfully also at home. Cheshunt are visiting.
With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the St Albans City friendly games in pre-season: St Albans City played two friendlies, won 1, drew 0 and lost 1. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that St Albans City scored {2 goals} and conceded 3 in these two games.
Kidderminster Harriers form and stats
Last season their Fa Trophy adventure ended in the 3rd round.Kidderminster Harriers lost away at King's Lynn Town (0-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
It was a Vanarama National League North defeat before that one as the away game against Boston United wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 7 similar matches played by Kidderminster in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Kidderminster Harriers, 2 draws and 4 defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Kidderminster Harriers manager Penn as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against AFC Telford United.
