Preview

Match preview

Mulbarton Wanderers host Cornard United in this FA Cup tie, with both sides aiming to bounce back from recent cup defeats. Mulbarton enter following a 3-0 away defeat to Welwyn Garden City, but they have maintained solid home form in the competition, keeping clean sheets in their last two home fixtures including a 2-0 victory over Cambridge City and a 0-0 draw with Witham Town.

Cornard United arrive after a high-scoring run of cup games, though positive results have proven difficult to sustain on the road. Their last outing resulted in a 4-2 away loss to Woodbridge Town, following a 2-2 draw at home against the same opponents, meaning they are winless in their last three cup fixtures while conceding 11 goals across those games.

With Mulbarton showing greater defensive stability when playing at home and Cornard struggling defensively in recent knockout fixtures, the hosts hold an edge in securing a positive result in front of their home crowd.
