Bourne Town and Banbury United meet in the FA Trophy, a cup game where the two sides come in off very different results. The hosts have just lost 0-3 in the league, while the visitors have just won 1-0 in their own league. Bourne Town have won three of their last five, but all of those were cup games and all were won by a single goal, before they were hit 0-3 in the league last time out, so their defence is still not settled. Banbury United, meanwhile, have two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five, but their league record for the season shows 16 scored and 23 conceded from 13 games, which reflects that both attack and defence are still not quite right. This away game is likely to be more open than cagey. The pattern of play should therefore be one where both sides get a similar number of chances. Banbury United may see slightly more of the ball, in line with their 50.13% average over their last ten games, but Bourne Town are at home and have cup wins behind them for encouragement. The game looks likely to finish close and not far apart. What to watch after kick-off is how quickly Bourne Town settle at the back, having just conceded three in their last match.
