Match Preview
Clevedon Town hosts Kidlington in an intriguing FA Cup fixture at The Hand Stadium on Wednesday evening. Both teams come into this match with mixed form, with Clevedon recording two wins in their last five outings, while Kidlington has struggled, managing only one victory during the same period. This disparity in form could play a crucial role in the match, as Clevedon will look to leverage their home advantage against a Kidlington side that has shown vulnerability on the road.
Historically, the head-to-head record favours Clevedon, with the last ten encounters revealing a clear dominance, including one win and one draw for Clevedon, while Kidlington has yet to secure a victory. Notably, these matches have been low-scoring, with no games seeing over 2.5 goals or both teams scoring. Given this trend, it may be prudent to expect a tightly contested match, potentially leaning towards a low-scoring affair. The outcome could hinge on Clevedon’s ability to convert their home advantage into goals, while Kidlington will need to find a way to break their scoring drought against this opponent.
