Preview

Match preview

Banbury United host Exmouth in the FA Cup knockout stages, with both sides looking to correct recent defensive vulnerabilities. Banbury have managed just one win in their last five outings across all competitions, defeating Racing Club Warwick 2-1 before enduring a run that featured high-scoring defeats to Real Bedford and Rushall Olympic alongside a 1-1 draw against Stourbridge.

Exmouth enter the cup tie seeking their first victory in five fixtures, having suffered a 4-1 away defeat to Hartpury University in their most recent match. Prior to that, high-tempo encounters such as their 4-4 draw against Shaftesbury Town highlighted their ability to create opportunities while continuing to concede at the back.

With both defences regularly conceding multiple goals in recent weeks and both attacks consistently finding the net, an open contest with scoring opportunities on both ends is expected at the Spencer Stadium.

Banbury United have conceded in all five of their recent fixtures, allowing 11 goals across that stretch while scoring in four of those matches. Exmouth display an identical scoring pattern, having scored in four of their last five games while conceding a total of 12 goals in that span.
