Bury and Gainsborough Trinity meet in the FA Trophy after coming through the previous round in very different shape. Bury had just crushed their cup opponent 5-1, while Gainsborough Trinity also won in the cup 3-0, but to get to this match they had to battle through far more erratic form. Bury are in hot form, on a winning run, and in their own league they have scored 19 goals from 9 matches. Their attack clearly looks more fluid, while Gainsborough Trinity have won 4 and lost 4 from 9 matches in their own league, scoring 14 and conceding 12. The numbers say they are a team that can open up and trade blows, but they also have matches where they were blown apart and let the game slip away. This game will likely see Bury dominate the ball and apply more pressure, but Gainsborough Trinity have not come here to be easy opponents. They have dangerous counter-attacking moments, especially late in games when they often score. The thing to watch from kick-off is how well Gainsborough Trinity handle the early pressure. If they do not concede early, the game will stretch out and they will have a chance to turn it around.
