This FA Cup round is decided at the home of Dorking Wanderers, where the hosts come into it unbeaten in their last five but with as many as four draws, conceding in every game and leaving it nervy right to the end. Chatham Town, meanwhile, have alternated wins and losses with no draws at all, scoring in each of their last five but conceding in each of them too. Dorking Wanderers dominate possession and clearly create more shots on target than their opponents over the last ten games, but the problem is a defence that also lets opponents get their shots on target. Chatham Town arrive with their attack still functioning, but their defence has spells where it switches off, especially late in the first half, when they concede more than at any other time. If Dorking Wanderers keep possession and press as they have done at home, the game should flow one way and end with a margin big enough for the hosts to go through without any nerves.
