Match Preview
Runcorn Linnets host Clitheroe in the FA Cup on Saturday, 2nd August, at the Millbank Linnets Stadium. Runcorn comes into this match with a solid recent record, having secured two wins and a draw in their last five outings. Their form suggests a team that can be difficult to break down, especially at home. In contrast, Clitheroe has struggled lately, managing just one win in their last five matches, which could impact their confidence going into this knockout fixture. Historically, Runcorn has shown dominance in their previous encounters with Clitheroe, winning all ten of their last meetings without conceding a goal. This trend could play a significant psychological role in the match, as Runcorn will look to assert their home advantage early on. With both teams having contrasting form, Runcorn will aim to exploit Clitheroe's vulnerabilities, particularly in defence, while Clitheroe will need to find a way to overcome their recent struggles to stand a chance in this tie.
