Preview

Match preview

Alfreton Town enter this FA Cup clash buoyed by a convincing 4-1 away victory against Whitby Town in their most recent outing. The hosts have demonstrated significant attacking firepower in recent weeks, having also registered a 4-0 home win over Hyde United, taking their scoring tally to ten goals across their last five fixtures.

In contrast, Stratford Town arrive in search of form having failed to win any of their previous five matches. With three defeats and two goalless draws in that period, the visitors have found goals hard to come by, scoring just twice while conceding eleven times, including a heavy 6-1 away defeat to Real Bedford.

Given Stratford Town's struggles in front of goal and defensive vulnerabilities on the road, Alfreton Town hold a strong positional advantage playing on home soil to progress or at least avoid defeat within regulation time.
