The FA Cup qualifying round is not over easily for Bedford Town and Cray Wanderers. Both just scraped through their previous match, and this is a game where the loser is out immediately, with no second leg for a second chance. Bedford Town just lost in the league 0-1, but before that in the cup they won 3-1. Cray Wanderers also just lost in the league 1-2, after previously winning in the cup 3-0. Both therefore come in in a similar state: good cup form but a league stumble. The shape of the two teams is likely to be open and trading blows from the start, because Bedford Town play at home and have slightly less possession than their opponents (45.4% in the last 10 matches) but still create shots on target consistently, while Cray Wanderers score a lot and concede just as much. If either gets the first goal, the other must open up and attack immediately, and the game will flow even more towards trading punches than sitting back and waiting.
