**Weston Super Mare host Wimborne Town in a cup clash that screams "watch out for the upset." 🏴** Wimborne are flying high with 2W 2D from their last five, while the hosts have dropped badly — just 1W in the same stretch.
Form tells the story here. **Wimborne's back-line of A. Roberts, D. Strugnell, and J. Lee** have been solid, and they're coming in sharp after beating Shaftesbury 4-1. **Weston's defense got dismantled by Exeter (0-2) and Gloucester (0-1)** at home, so they'll need **M. Harris** to be sharp between the sticks.
Key storylines:
- **Wimborne's attacking thrust** — K. Wood and C. Munn will test **J. Pope and E. Lewis** down Weston's flanks early and often
- **L. Sercombe and J. Dodd** must control the midfield tempo for Weston or Wimborne's **B. Scorey and J. Carmichael** will run the show
- **W. Dawes and L. Britton** need to be clinical; Weston can't afford another toothless home display
Expected lineups:
- **Weston Super Mare**: M. Harris, J. Pope, E. Lewis, S. Avery, M. Smith, J. Cane, J. Dodd, L. Coulson, L. Sercombe, W. Dawes, L. Britton
- **Wimborne Town**: C. Plain, A. Roberts, D. Strugnell, J. Lee, J. McQuoid, B. Scorey, J. Carmichael, K. Wood, C. Munn, L. Williams, O. Dennet
Prediction:
**1-2 Wimborne** — their recent form and solidity give them the slight edge in a cup tie where Weston are vulnerable 🎯
