In this round of the FA Cup, Plymouth Parkway host Horsham, with the home side having just come through the previous round with a 2-0 win in this very competition, while Horsham also won in the cup in similar fashion. The difference, though, is that the two teams' league form could not be more contrasting. Plymouth Parkway come in as a team whose league campaign is going well, having won 6 of 9 league matches, scoring at an average of over two and a half goals per game, and at home they score first in almost every match in the first half. But they stumbled to a 0-3 defeat in another cup competition late last month. Horsham, meanwhile, are still searching for a win in the league, picking up mostly draws, with an attack that is clearly blunter, but the upside is that they rarely lose. This game is likely to open with the home side seeing more of the ball and trying to apply pressure from the first half, while Horsham are likely to defend in an organised block and wait for counter-attacking chances. The first half could end with the home side leading or level, but in the second half the home side tend to play with more intensity and have the chance to edge ahead or close out the game late on.
