In this round of the FA Cup, Mulbarton Wanderers host Gloucester City at home. It is the first time the two teams meet in this competition, and it is a game where the two sides' league levels do not match. Gloucester City play in the Southern Premier League, while Mulbarton are in the Isthmian League. Cup games like this are usually decided by who is more ready on the day. Mulbarton are on a winning run of 3 matches and have scored heavily at home, but their defence still shows weak points, especially in the spell before half-time when they concede often. Gloucester City, meanwhile, are unbeaten in 2 matches, but their own league record is not pretty: only 1 win from 9 matches, and they have conceded more than they have scored. This game should be open and end-to-end from the start. Gloucester City have quality in attack that can pressure the home defence. If the visitors score first, the game will flow even more their way, but if Mulbarton can defend and wait for counter-attacking chances, the game could stretch late into the closing stages.
