The home team enters this edition of the FA Cup seeking a positive result, capitalising on their home advantage. Interestingly, Stanway has recorded more positive outcomes away than at home, achieving 5 wins, 2 draws, and 8 losses while scoring 19 goals and conceding 27 in their last 28 matches as visitors. In contrast, their home record shows only 4 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses, with 13 goals scored and 13 conceded. They come into this match after a recent defeat away against Tilbury (3-1).
Stanway aims for a crucial home victory in this knockout phase of the FA Cup, as it’s a one-off match. Last season, they topped the Counties Leagues, finishing two points clear of second place, securing promotion to a higher division. At home, they have performed relatively well, having won four out of their last six home games, with one draw and one loss. In those, they consistently scored more than 1.5 goals against their opponents.
