In this round of the FA Cup, Harborough Town host St Albans City at home. The interesting part of this game is that the hosts are a team that likes to dominate possession and gradually squeeze the game, while the visitors are in a spell where they are playing with confidence. Harborough Town have just finished their league game with a 0-1 defeat, and their overall league record is 3 won, 3 drawn, 4 lost, scoring 10 and conceding 12 from 10 matches. At home, though, they hold more of the ball and create shots on target consistently. As for St Albans City, they are unbeaten in 5 straight matches, their attack is working well, especially their finishing, which has produced several goals in each game. If the hosts can dominate possession and push high as planned, the game is likely to flow more toward Harborough Town, but the first half could still be tense because the visitors do not start quickly and wait for counter-attacking chances. The second half should open up more as both sides have to push the pace.
