Match Preview
AFC Portchester will host Melksham Town in the FA Cup on Tuesday, 5 August, with kickoff set for 19:45. Portchester enters this match in solid form, having secured three wins in their last five outings, while Melksham Town has struggled, managing just one victory in the same period. The contrasting form could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of this fixture.
Historically, Portchester has had the upper hand in their recent encounters with Melksham, winning one and drawing another of their last two meetings. However, both teams have shown vulnerabilities defensively, with only two of their last ten head-to-head matches resulting in clean sheets. This trend suggests that a bet on both teams to score could be a worthwhile consideration, especially given the attacking potential displayed by Portchester in their recent games. As the teams prepare to face off, the home advantage and current form may well tip the scales in Portchester's favour.
