This FA Cup round is a game where Leiston host Coventry United, two teams meeting in a cup they each reached with very different form. Leiston have just lost 2-3 in the league in their latest match, after previously winning 2-1 in the cup, while Coventry United have just won 2-0 in the league following a 1-0 cup win. Leiston in their own league have played 9 matches, scoring 17 and conceding 17, roughly even, but in their last five they have lost three in a row and the defence is clearly leaking. Coventry United, meanwhile, have won two in a row and their defence has tightened considerably, especially in the latest match where they kept a clean sheet. This game should open up from the start, because Leiston at home concede often early on, while Coventry United tend to score early. If the hosts get the first goal, the game should flow into an end-to-end contest, but if the visitors sit deep and wait to counter, it could finish with few goals.
