This round of the FA Trophy brings Worcester City to host Leek Town in a cup tie both sides want to win to reach the next round. Worcester City's recent form does not look bad, but they still have not beaten anyone in the league, losing their last Southern Premier League match 2-5. Worcester City have come through cup games unbeaten in several matches, but when they meet league games they struggle to find their footing, especially in the second half when they tend to concede easily. Meanwhile, Leek Town are red hot, on a winning run in all competitions, both the FA Cup and their own league. Leek Town are likely to be the side that opens up and attacks in their style of high possession and frequent shots on target, while Worcester City are likely to sit back and wait for counter-attacking moments or set pieces. If the hosts can handle the early pressure, this game has a chance to drag on and end closely contested.
