Match Preview
Sittingbourne will host AFC Croydon Athletic in an intriguing FA Cup clash at The WE Mannin Stadium on Saturday, 30 August. Both teams come into this match with contrasting recent form; Sittingbourne has recorded two wins, a loss, and two draws in their last five outings, while Croydon boasts a strong run, winning four of their last five matches. This difference in momentum could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the fixture. Historically, the two sides have faced each other ten times without a single draw, indicating a competitive edge that could favour Croydon, especially given their current form. Additionally, neither team has shown a propensity for high-scoring matches in their previous encounters, with no games exceeding two goals. This suggests that a tightly contested match could be on the cards, making a low-scoring affair likely. With Sittingbourne needing to leverage home advantage, it will be interesting to see if they can disrupt Croydon's winning streak and make a mark in this knockout competition.
