National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Wingate & Finchley or Clapton that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Wingate & Finchley and Clapton.
Wingate & Finchley form and stats
Last season, Finchley's London Senior Cup journey ended in the 1st round.The club members are hoping that Wingate & Finchley will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the match against Bognor Regis Town.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Horsham that ended 2-2.There will be little rest for Wingate & Finchley after this match as they are travelling to Bishop's Stortford for a Non League Premier: Isthmian game in only four days.
Wingate & Finchley have prepared for this season with four friendly games versus mixed opposition. Results from training matches should always be treated with caution, but the takeaways from these four matches are 2 victories, 1 draws and 1 losses. In these games, Wingate & Finchley have scored 7 goals and conceded 6 times.
Clapton form and stats
Clapton's mission in London Senior Cup last season failed in the 1st round.Two away games in a row for Clapton, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-7 versus Buckhurst Hill. Clapton lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-7 beating and focus on this one.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Ilford at their stadium, the result 3-2.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Clapton manager as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Redbridge.
