Chippenham Town's equivalent record is 8 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses from 20, with 27 goals for and 29 against. Their sample also spans two different competitions, National League South earlier in the year and Southern Premier League more recently, plus a run of FA Cup ties, so it's not a clean single-league picture.

Cray Wanderers' goal output stands out more than Chippenham's, but neither side's recent record looks especially dominant.

Comparative Team Statistics: Cray Wanderers vs Chippenham Town

Both sides know how to grind through a replay

Cray Wanderers only got past Maidstone United after a 1-1 draw, winning the replay 2-0 away. Before that they needed extra time to see off Lewes as well, drawing 2-2 before winning 1-0 in the first meeting sequence.

Chippenham Town have had an almost identical experience. They drew 0-0 with Yate Town before winning the replay 2-1, and drew 1-1 with Havant & Waterlooville before winning the follow-up tie 3-1 away. Neither team has found these cup rounds straightforward.

If this tie is as close as their recent cup form suggests, a replay itself wouldn't be a surprise.
