This FA Trophy tie sees two very different situations. Loughborough University have just thrashed their league opponents 3-0 without conceding, while Stourbridge have just lost 0-2 at home in their own league. Loughborough University have won their last two matches without conceding a goal, and their defence looks noticeably steadier. Stourbridge, meanwhile, lost their last match 0-2 and are still without a win in their own league, but their season stats of 12 matches, 14 scored and 16 conceded show they still score regularly, though their defence is leaky enough. If Loughborough University get the first goal from an attack that is hitting its stride, the game should flow toward the hosts, who will play at their own tempo and force Stourbridge to open up, which will only give the hosts more room to counter.
