Match Preview
Wellingborough Town will host Bourne Town in an intriguing FA Cup clash at the Dog & Duck Ground on Saturday, 16 August. Wellingborough's recent form has been inconsistent, with a record of one win in their last five matches (LWLWD), while Bourne Town arrives with a stronger record, having secured three wins out of their last five (WWL). This disparity in form could play a crucial role in the outcome of the match.
Historically, the two sides have faced each other ten times, with Wellingborough winning only once at home. Notably, only one of those encounters has seen over 2.5 goals scored, suggesting that matches between these teams tend to be tightly contested. With both teams having shown vulnerabilities at the back, particularly Wellingborough, there may be opportunities for goals. The key angle to watch will be how Wellingborough's defence copes with Bourne's attacking momentum, as a solid performance from Bourne could see them advance in this knockout competition.
