Gloucester City host Stafford Rangers in the FA Trophy, a cup tie both sides must win to advance. Unlike a league game, where a draw still leaves points to collect, this one must end with only one team going through. The hosts have just lost 2-5 in the league, but before that they were unbeaten in 4 of their last 5 in all competitions, including a 2-0 home win in the FA Cup. Stafford Rangers, meanwhile, are in red-hot form, on a winning run in all competitions and scoring at least three goals in every match. Their attack is clearly clicking. The pattern of play should see the hosts trying to control the tempo at home, dealing with a visiting side that keeps moving the ball and creating chances. Stafford Rangers have averaged 58.4% possession over their last 10 matches in all competitions and have fired more than seven shots on target per game, but Gloucester City do not lose at home easily. This one should be tight and decided by small details rather than a wide margin.
