In this round of the FA Cup, Bury Town host Spalding United, and the two sides' most recent matches just ended in contrasting fashion. Bury Town won 2-1 in the league, while Spalding United lost 1-2 away in the league. Bury Town play in the Southern League Central Division, and their own league form is very good: 8 wins from 9 matches, 18 scored, 8 conceded. But in the FA Vase they just went through, they lost heavily 1-4. Spalding United come from the higher National League North, with league form of 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses from 10 matches, 14 scored, 8 conceded, and they just came through the FA Cup round with a 2-0 win. Cup games like this tend to be more open than league games, because both teams have attacks that score regularly, and both concede when they open up and go at each other. If either side scores first, the game should open up even more and more goals should follow, rather than ending with both sides shutting up shop.
