Salisbury host Dulwich Hamlet in the FA Cup. Both sides go into this off the back of comfortable wins in their last outing, each scoring four times to reach this stage.
Salisbury operate a tier above Dulwich Hamlet, in the National League South rather than the Isthmian Premier, though their recent league form has been anything but steady. Dulwich, by contrast, have been winning regularly across whatever competition they've been in.

Comparative Team Statistics: Salisbury vs Dulwich Hamlet


A step up for Dulwich, a shaky patch for Salisbury
This is a step up in level for Dulwich Hamlet, who play their football in the Isthmian Premier while Salisbury sit in the National League South. On paper that should count for something, but Salisbury's league form lately hasn't given much reassurance, with draws against Ebbsfleet and Chelmsford and losses to Hemel Hempstead and Maidstone mixed into their sample.
Both teams arrive full of confidence from big cup wins last time out, Salisbury putting four past Taunton Town and Dulwich doing the same to Welling United. That suggests goals could be on the cards again, though cup ties between sides from different levels can just as easily turn cagey if the underdog sets up to frustrate.

Both sides look sharp coming into this after big cup wins, and there's a reasonable case that goals turn up again given how both have been scoring. But Salisbury's patchy league form takes some of the shine off their status as the higher-level side, and Dulwich's numbers this season stand up well by comparison.
With no market on the table to assess, we're happy to sit this one out rather than force an angle. It has the makings of an entertaining cup tie, but calling a clear favourite isn't straightforward on this evidence.
