Preview

Match preview

Northwich Victoria host Atherton Collieries in an FA Cup knockout tie, with both sides seeking momentum following mixed results in cup and non-league action.

Northwich Victoria have shown an ability to find the net in home cup ties, having registered three goals against Squires Gate and two against Barnoldswick Town across previous cup campaigns. However, defensive frailties remain evident as they conceded six goals across those two home fixtures.

Atherton Collieries enter this match on a difficult run of form, having lost four consecutive matches. Defensive instability has been a recurring issue for the visitors, who have conceded nine goals across their last three competitive outings, including a 4-1 away defeat to Congleton Town and a 3-0 loss to Sporting Khalsa.
