Match Preview
Ramsbottom United will host Silsden in an intriguing FA Cup clash at The Harry Williams Riverside Stadium on Tuesday night. Both teams have had a mixed bag of results recently, with Ramsbottom managing just one win in their last five matches (DDWLL), while Silsden has shown slightly better form, securing two wins in the same period (DDWLW). Historically, Ramsbottom has struggled against Silsden, with no wins in their last ten encounters, which could weigh on their confidence heading into this match.
One key angle to consider is the defensive solidity of both sides. Ramsbottom has conceded in four of their last five matches, while Silsden’s recent form suggests they are capable of finding the net, having scored in all but one of their last five fixtures. With both teams likely to adopt an attacking approach, the potential for both teams to score (BTTS) could be a significant factor in determining the outcome of this tie. Expect a closely contested match as both sides vie for progression in the prestigious FA Cup.
