In this round of the FA Cup, Cambridge City host Alvechurch, with no head-to-head record in the data to use as a guide. What differs from previous matches is that Cambridge City have just finished a league game with a 0-2 defeat, while Alvechurch are still unbeaten in their last three matches. Cambridge City have scored plenty recently but have conceded just as many. In their latest cup game they won 3-1, with goals coming from a variety of attacking moves. Alvechurch, meanwhile, arrive with a strong record in their own league: 9 matches, 6 wins, only 4 goals conceded, but they lost their most recent cup game 1-2, making their cup and league form quite different. This game is likely to be open and end-to-end from the start, because both teams tend to score from a variety of situations. Cambridge City have slightly more possession based on their average over the last 10 matches, but Alvechurch have a tighter defence in their own league. The key thing to watch is how well Cambridge City set up defensively to handle Alvechurch's counter-attacks, because if they give the visitors too much space in the middle, the game could end with a wider margin than expected.
