Match Preview
As Tividale prepares to host Clay Cross Town in the FA Cup on Saturday, the home side will be keen to shake off a disappointing run of form, having lost four of their last five matches. Their struggles have been particularly pronounced in defence, which could be a crucial factor against a Clay Cross side that has shown some resilience, managing to secure two wins in their last five outings. Tividale's recent performances suggest they may be vulnerable, especially as they aim to regain confidence on home turf at The Beeches.
Historically, Tividale has had the upper hand in their encounters with Clay Cross, winning once in their last ten meetings, but the lack of recent victories may weigh heavily on their mindset. With only one match out of the last ten featuring over 2.5 goals, this fixture could be tightly contested. The key angle to watch will be whether Tividale can convert their home advantage into a much-needed victory, or if Clay Cross can capitalise on their opponents' fragility to progress in the competition.
