Match Preview
Shaftesbury Town will host Thatcham Town in the FA Cup on Saturday, 16 August, with kickoff scheduled for 15:00. Shaftesbury comes into this fixture with a solid recent record, having secured three wins, one draw, and one loss in their last five matches. In contrast, Thatcham Town has struggled, managing only one win in their last five outings, which could impact their confidence heading into this crucial cup tie. A key angle to consider is Shaftesbury's strong home advantage, particularly given their recent head-to-head dominance over Thatcham. In the last ten encounters, Shaftesbury has won once at home, while Thatcham has yet to secure an away victory against them. Additionally, the lack of goals in their previous meetings—only one match seeing over 2.5 goals—suggests a potentially tight contest. If Shaftesbury can maintain their form and exploit Thatcham's defensive vulnerabilities, they could progress to the next round of the FA Cup.
