This FA Trophy tie comes at a moment when both teams have just won their latest match, but the form they arrive in is not quite the same. Needham Market have just thrashed their league opponents 5-0, while Wingate & Finchley won 4-2 in a game with goals to spare. Needham Market are on a winning run in the league, and their attack has started to click lately, scoring at least 2 in each of their last 3 matches. Wingate & Finchley are also on a winning run, but their defence still shows gaps, especially early in the second half, when they concede a high proportion of goals — 22% of all the goals they have conceded. With both sides playing open football in a cup tie, goals are likely at both ends, and Needham Market, playing at home, should edge the share of the game thanks to their more sustained attacking moves. The match is likely to end with the home side squeezing out a win by a one-goal margin.
