This FA Trophy tie is a meeting of two teams from different league levels. Guisborough Town come from Northern League Division One, while Redcar Athletic come from Northern Premier League. A win here means progressing to the next round of a cup both sides want. Guisborough Town's home form is not particularly intimidating, having just lost 1-2 in the league before bouncing back with a 1-0 win in their latest match, though there are still moments where their defence switches off. Redcar Athletic, meanwhile, arrive in far more solid shape, unbeaten in the league across their last 10 matches, scoring 19 and conceding 7, and based on the expected line-up they should field a midfield that controls the tempo better. If Redcar Athletic score first, the game is likely to become one-way traffic with them controlling the ball and waiting to counter, while Guisborough Town will have to open up and fight, which will only expose their defence - one that concedes often in the middle of the first half - to even more pressure.
