Kettering Town and Worcester City meet in this round of the FA Cup, after the hosts just thrashed their league opponents 4-1, while the visitors could only manage a 2-2 draw in the league as well. The two teams therefore come into this in clearly different moods. Kettering Town have won two in a row and have been scoring freely at home, while Worcester City have not won any of their last three, with their attack looking blunt in recent games and their defence starting to show cracks more often. The visitors will need to rely on the toughness of their away defence if they want to keep this game alive. This game is likely to be open and end-to-end from the start, because both sides have attacks ready to use, but if Worcester City can defend in an organised way and avoid conceding early, the game could stretch out until the closing stages. The first half and second half could therefore look quite different, especially late on when the hosts often find extra attacking momentum.
