This round of the FA Cup brings Sutton United up against Truro City on a date when the two teams' form is clearly heading in opposite directions. The hosts have just won in the cup 3-2, but that was their only victory in the last five matches, while Truro City have just thrashed their opponents in the same cup competition 4-0 and have not lost to anyone since late September. Sutton United in their own league have picked up 5 wins from 13 matches, conceding more than they have scored, and their latest league match ended in a 0-2 defeat. Their attack still creates chances but the defence lets opponents get at them too easily. Truro City, meanwhile, look better overall even though they play in a different league, with 6 wins from 11 matches, only 8 goals conceded, and they have been scoring consistently of late. The two play at different levels of the league, so the numbers cannot be compared directly, but Truro City's recent form looks steadier. This game is likely to see the hosts as the side that has to open up, because they are at home and want to settle it inside 90 minutes, while Truro City will probably sit in a block and wait for the counter, especially late on when both teams tend to concede. If the hosts cannot attack sharply as they did in their last match, the game could drag on and end up close.
