In this round of the FA Cup, Gainsborough Trinity host Anstey Nomads. The last time the two teams met it finished 1-1, a match in which Gainsborough Trinity were behind before equalising late. Now they meet again in a cup tie where a team must be found to advance. Gainsborough Trinity just thrashed their opponents 3-0 in this competition a few days ago, but their league form is still not steady, while Anstey Nomads lost 1-4 in the league last time out, though before that they picked up wins in three of their last five. The teams are therefore fairly evenly matched. This game should be open and end-to-end from the start, because both teams scored in 100 matches, as many as 63, and there is a tendency for matches to finish with over 2.5 total goals, 60 out of 100. The first half may still be tense, but the second half should open up more, especially late on when Gainsborough Trinity often concede.
