Bromley News and Form

This is easily one of the more intriguing FA Cup replays happening this week. Bromley dug in so well in Bristol and didn’t fall behind until 12 minutes from time. That could have knocked the stuffing out of them, but they responded with an equaliser five minute later to set up this replay at Hayes Lane. National League side Bromley have failed to win any of their last four games (D3 L1) so they are not in hot form.

But they do have great form at home this season with a W7 D4 L1 record under their belt there. They battled past Aldershot at Hayes Lane in a 4-3 win to qualify for the first round of the FA Cup. If they were to pull off this win then they would equal their best performances in the FA Cup having reached the second round three times before, their last appearance at that stage coming in the 1945/46 season.

Bristol Rovers News and Form

This isn’t a game that League One side Bristol Rovers are looking forward to. After taking the lead late in the game at home, they will have expected to close out the deal. Now they have to go through this ordeal. Rovers are W3 D1 L2 in their last five games and they have won three of their last four fixtures out on their travels (L1). But that is part of an overall W3 L4 record that they have picked up away from home this season (all league games).

Another aspect which makes this replay interesting is that Bristol Rovers have won just one of their last nine FA Cup games home and away and that was an extra-time success over Crawley in 2016. They have failed to get a win in any of their last four away games in the FA Cup with a D2 L2 record from that sequence.

Higher ranked teams usually pull themselves through situations like this and this will likely be no exception. Expect another tight game and it’s worth backing the underdogs to be level at half time as they were in the first meeting, but for The Rovers to prevail.
