Wimborne Town's equivalent sample, drawn from the FA Cup, their Southern Premier League South fixtures and a couple of pre-season friendlies, reads very differently: 5 wins, 10 draws and 5 losses, with 29 goals for and 22 against. Half their matches have ended level, which points to a side that's hard to beat outright but also short on knockout results.

Crowborough's games tend to produce goals at both ends, while Wimborne's have been tighter and more likely to end drawn.

Both sides have needed replays to get here

Crowborough Athletic's route through this year's FA Cup has already included a 1-1 draw with Whyteleafe followed by a 3-1 replay win, and a 3-3 draw away at Hampton & Richmond before winning the return 3-1. That's four extra cup matches in under three weeks.

Wimborne Town's path has been similarly stretched. They edged past Portishead Town 3-1 away after a 0-0 draw at home, then drew twice with Weston-super-Mare, 1-1 in both legs. Neither club has had it straightforward, and both will be feeling the effects of a congested schedule.

Fatigue and squad rotation from repeated cup replays could be a factor for both sides heading into this tie.
