National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Weymouth or Maidenhead United that keep their silverware dream alive.
The hosts Weymouth saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Vanarama National League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Wrexham, was also a home game here at Bob Lucas Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Weymouth form and stats
Last season, Weymouth's Fa Trophy journey ended in the 1st round.With 1 Vanarama National League win, 0 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Weymouth are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Weymouth with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Stockport County game, 49 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The home stadium (Bob Lucas Stadium) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Weymouth it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?
Weymouth's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Wrexham. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Wealdstone (1-2).
Did Weymouth get overconfident in their match against Wrexham? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-3 defeat. The defeat against Wrexham was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored five minutes into stoppage time (by R. Hall-Johnson).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Weymouth as they are travelling to their away game against Boreham Wood in the Vanarama National League. That match is three days after this one.
Weymouth has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Weymouth are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (16 from 7 played).
