Preview

Match preview

Cleethorpes Town host Newcastle Town in this FA Cup encounter, entering the match on the back of an impressive run of form in late August. The home side have secured four victories from their last five outings across all competitions, showing potent attacking output by registering 15 goals across those fixtures, including a 6-0 victory against Whitby Town and a 3-0 away win against Gainsborough Trinity.

Newcastle Town head into this tie after suffering a 3-0 home defeat against Bourne Town in their most recent match in late August. Having played limited competitive fixtures in the opening month of the campaign, Newcastle Town face a testing assignment against a free-scoring opponent.

Historical head-to-head encounters between these two clubs have produced high-scoring affairs, with both prior meetings seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. With Cleethorpes Town showing sharp form and high offensive efficiency on their home ground, they look well positioned to dictate terms in this knockout clash.
