National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Wealdstone or Gloucester City 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.

Wealdstone form and stats

Last season, Wealdstone's Fa Trophy journey ended in the 3rd round qualifying.

Wealdstone have played 7 National League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).

The fans are hoping that Wealdstone will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the National League game against Hartlepool United. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Maidenhead United (0-4).

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 Wealdstone have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won five, drawn one and lost three.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Wealdstone as they have a new game in only one day, a National League match thankfully also at home. Dover Athletic are visiting.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (16 in 7 games), Wealdstone's attacking play is working. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Wealdstone with 16 goals conceded in these matches.

Gloucester City form and stats

Gloucester's mission in Fa Trophy last season failed in the 3rd round qualifying.

4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Gloucester City playing as the away team in the Vanarama National League North this season.

Impressive finishing from M. McClure, K. Marsh-Brown and J. Young secured the home win 3-2 against Kidderminster Harriers in their previous game. Ahead of that match was the Vanarama National League North away draw versus Leamington that ended 1-1.

Gloucester can call themselves comeback kings after the match against Kidderminster Harriers. Buried deep in trouble at 0-2, the troops rallied and completely turned the match around to a 3-2 victory. J. Young scored the final goal.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Gloucester in our archives, and the results are: one win for Gloucester City, one draw and one defeat.

Gloucester are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 8 games (in the league). 9 goals have been conceded by Gloucester in these games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last six games between these two teams, there's two Wealdstone victories, two draws and two Gloucester City wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
