Match Preview
Tooting & Mitcham United will host AFC Croydon Athletic at Imperial Fields on Saturday, 16 August, in what promises to be a compelling FA Cup clash. The home side has struggled recently, managing just one point from their last five matches, which has left them searching for form. In stark contrast, Croydon Athletic arrives with a solid record, having won four of their last five games, indicating a significant momentum shift in their favour.
A notable aspect of this matchup is the historical head-to-head record, where Tooting & Mitcham has only managed one win in the last ten encounters, with no matches seeing both teams score. This trend could play a crucial role, as Tooting will need to break their poor run and find a way to penetrate a resilient Croydon defence. Given the visitors' current form and the pressure on Tooting, Croydon Athletic may well be favoured to advance in the competition if they maintain their recent performance levels.
