Their last clash took place on 15‑08‑2015, ending with Barnstaple Town winning 2‑0 against Willand Rovers.

Team analysis: Willand

The home side is gearing up for their first match in this season’s FA Cup, aiming to leverage the home advantage to secure a positive result. Historically, they have been stronger at home, recording 9 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses in their last 30 home matches, compared to 4 wins, 2 draws, and 9 losses when playing away. Their most recent match in the FA Cup saw them defeated by Oxford City with a score of 6-0. In their last four home games, Willand has managed 3 wins and 1 loss.

Willand enters this preliminary stage of the FA Cup seeking a crucial home victory to secure advancement, as this match is a do-or-die scenario. They finished last season placed 15th in the Non-League Division One of England’s football league system, eleven points above the relegation zone. At home, their form has been relatively encouraging; out of their last six home games, they have secured four victories with more than 2.5 goals scored in all of them, and in five of those matches, both teams managed to find the net.

Team analysis: Barnstaple

The away team is entering this FA Cup edition with aspirations of achieving a surprising result against their hosts. They are not overly dependent on home atmosphere, showing similar performances both at home and away. In their last 30 matches, Barnstaple has recorded 5 wins and 10 losses as visitors, having scored 20 goals while conceding 32. At home, they obtained 6 wins, 2 draws, and 7 losses with 22 goals scored and 21 conceded. The team comes into this match after losing at home to Larkhall Athletic by a score of 1‑2. Their defensive solidity has not been impressive, having conceded goals in 3 out of their last 4 matches, but their attacking line has been consistent, scoring at least once in each of their last four outings.

Barnstaple approaches this preliminary round in the FA Cup with the objective of clinching an away victory necessary for progression, as it is a single-elimination match. Last season, the team finished 4th in the Counties Leagues, partaking in playoffs for promotion but ultimately falling short and remaining in the same division. Their performance as visitors has been erratic, as evidenced by their last six away games, which included two wins, one draw, and three losses, with four of those matches featuring over 2.5 goals.
