Preview

Match preview

Bamber Bridge face Trafford in this FA Cup encounter looking to tighten up defensively after an action-packed run of recent fixtures. Bamber Bridge have been involved in high-scoring affairs, conceding 14 goals across their previous five matches while also finding the back of the net in every single one of those outings.

Trafford arrive following mixed results across recent fixtures, including a 2-1 victory over Chorley and a 2-0 win against Rylands, alongside heavy defeats against Congleton Town and United of Manchester. In their previous cup meetings with Bamber Bridge, Trafford secured victories in both 2016 and 2019 without conceding, giving them positive memories in knockout football.

Given Bamber Bridge's persistent openness at the back and regular scoring output, this tie shapes up as an open knockout contest with opportunities for both forward lines.
