Worcester's record in the same period reads six wins, eight draws and six losses, with goals almost level at 22 for and 23 against. It's a stop-start pattern: a 3-1 win at Alvechurch and a 3-0 FA Cup run sit alongside draws like the recent 0-0 with Banbury United and a 0-1 home loss to Bromsgrove Sporting.

Kettering's scoring rate and consistency over the last 20 games clearly outstrip Worcester's more uneven output.

Comparative Team Statistics: Kettering Town vs Worcester City

Head-to-Head

There have only been two recorded meetings between these sides recently. Kettering won 2-1 at home back in April, while Worcester held them to a 1-1 draw when hosting the return fixture last September.

Neither result points to a one-sided rivalry. Both games were close, and the aggregate picture is basically level.

Cup Grind Behind Them

Both clubs arrive here having ground through tight cup ties rather than cruising. Kettering needed a 2-2 draw away at Wellingborough Town before beating them 2-1 in the follow-up, then eased past Quorn 2-0. Worcester went through something similar, drawing 1-1 away at Knowle W before edging them 1-0 next time out, followed by a 2-1 win over Stratford Town.

That sort of recent cup workload, with replays and narrow margins, suggests neither side has had things easy lately, even where the scoreline eventually favoured them.

Recent cup form for both sides has been tight rather than comfortable, which doesn't obviously favour either team walking in confident of a routine win.
