SE Dons, by contrast, have won all three of their recent FA Cup matches, scoring 10 goals and conceding just 3. That run includes a 5-1 win at Weymouth and a 3-2 away win at Chichester City, plus a 2-0 home win over Erith Town.

SE Dons' attacking numbers stand out, though it's a small sample against part-time opposition.

What to Expect at Kickoff

Sholing have shown they can be opened up at home, losing 2-4 to Chertsey Town and 1-2 to Bath City earlier in the year, but they've also managed goalless draws when things have been tighter. SE Dons' free-scoring cup form suggests they won't come here to sit back and defend.

Put those two patterns together and this looks like it could be an open contest rather than a cagey one, though Sholing's home matches haven't always followed the same script.
