A domestic cup game like the FA Cup brings Altrincham up against United of Manchester on a day when the two teams are clearly at different levels, and looking back at their history, United of Manchester are the side that has come out on top almost every time, especially in the most recent meeting when they thrashed them 4-1 at home. Altrincham come into this in confident shape after taking 4 of their last 5 league games, and in their most recent match they won 3-1, while United of Manchester's league form is still not great, with just one win from 12 games, and they have managed only draws in their last two, though in the cup they too have had a day when they scored 3 goals. With their superior overall quality, Altrincham are likely to control the game and push forward, while United of Manchester will probably sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances, and if the home side score early, the game could open up into a long exchange and finish with more than two goals in total.
