Bury host Bromsgrove Sporting in the FA Cup. Both clubs have been winning regularly over the past few months, each picking up plenty of goals along the way.
Bromsgrove's last outing before this tie ended in a 3-2 defeat at Stratford Town, while Bury have been scoring heavily in front of their own fans. Whether that goalscoring habit holds up against a side from a different part of the non-league pyramid is the interesting bit here.

How both sides have been playing
Bury's last 20 matches read well on paper: 14 wins, two draws and just four defeats, with 54 goals scored against only 15 conceded. Some of that comes from big cup and league wins, including an 8-0 thrashing of Wythenshawe Amateurs and a 7-0 win over Ilkeston Town, plus a 5-1 FA Cup victory over Workington. They're not flawless though, having lost 0-1 at home to Lancaster City and 0-1 away at Gainsborough Trinity in recent weeks.
Bury: 20 completed matches; Bromsgrove Sporting: 20 completed matches.

Bromsgrove Sporting's record is also strong on the surface, 15 wins from 20 with five losses and no draws, scoring 42 and conceding 18. They beat Leek Town in the FA Cup and Bury Town in the league before that Stratford defeat, but their form has had some bumps, including a 1-3 loss at Needham Market and a 1-2 defeat to Redditch United earlier in the run.
Both teams score plenty but also leak goals fairly often, so tight, high-scoring games look plausible.
Comparative Team Statistics: Bury vs Bromsgrove Sporting
A cross-region FA Cup tie
This one pits sides from different regional divisions of the non-league pyramid against each other, Bury from the Northern section and Bromsgrove from the Southern Central section. That means neither side will have much recent exposure to the other's level of opposition, which is part of what makes early FA Cup rounds unpredictable.
There's no head-to-head history in the data to lean on, and no standings context either, so this really comes down to each team's own recent output. Bury's home matches have swung between routine wins and the odd shock loss, while Bromsgrove have shown they can score against most Southern Central opponents but also concede against them.

Both sides have been scoring goals and winning matches regularly, but both have also shown they can be beaten, and there's nothing here linking their level of form directly to how they'll fare against each other.
With no market reference to assess and only form data to go on, this is one to watch rather than back with confidence.
