Preview

Match preview

Lancaster City enter this FA Cup tie having maintained regular competitive match rhythm throughout late August 2026, claiming victories away at Guiseley AFC (2-1) and Bury (1-0) alongside a 2-2 draw against Quorn. Although they suffered a 3-0 home defeat against Workington in their most recent outing, their consistent action gives them match sharpness on home soil.

Tadcaster Albion come into the match following a sequence of three consecutive defeats in their recorded fixtures, which includes a 2-0 defeat against Guiseley AFC, a 3-2 loss to Thornaby, and a 3-0 reversal at the hands of Macclesfield. Across those three outings, they have found the net twice while conceding eight goals.
