Ossett United host Pontefract Collieries in the FA Cup, bringing together two familiar regional rivals for a knockout encounter. Ossett enter the tie looking to rebound from a 3-2 away defeat against Guisborough Town on August 29. While they have struggled for defensive consistency, conceding in four of their last five matches, they have remained reliable in attack by scoring in all five of those fixtures.
Pontefract Collieries travel with significant momentum after a commanding 7-0 away victory over Padiham in late August. Much like their opponents, Pontefract have consistently produced open, high-scoring affairs, scoring across all five of their previous outings while managing just a single clean sheet during that run.
Historical meetings between these two sides point towards entertaining matches, with their eight recorded head-to-head fixtures producing an average of 3.25 goals per game. With both attacks entering in active scoring form, another open contest is expected.
Pontefract Collieries have won 4 of the last 9 meetings, averaging 3.0 goals a game, 67% went over 2.5.
