Match Preview

Pontefract Collieries host Blyth Spartans in the FA Cup on Saturday, 16 August, with kickoff set for 15:00 at Skinner Lane. Pontefract enters the match with a solid recent form of three wins from their last five games, while Blyth Spartans have struggled, managing only one win in their last five outings. Historically, Pontefract has dominated this fixture, winning all ten of their last encounters against Blyth, which suggests a psychological edge heading into this match. One key angle to consider is Pontefract's defensive record, as they have not conceded in their last three meetings with Blyth. Given the odds of 1.61 for a Pontefract win and the absence of goals in their previous head-to-heads, it may be prudent to expect a low-scoring affair. With Blyth's current form and Pontefract's home advantage, a clean sheet for the hosts seems likely, making the under 2.5 goals market an intriguing option at odds of 1.6.
