**FA Cup third round – where mid-tier sides get their moment in the spotlight.** Plymouth Parkway are riding recent momentum (3W in their last 5), while Horsham FC are streaky but dangerous when switched on 🔥
Plymouth's picked up form with wins over Frome and Gosport, though they got hammered 3-0 at home by Truro City. Horsham countered that slump with a clinical 4-1 demolition of Crystal Palace U21, so both teams arrive with question marks about consistency.
Key storylines:
- **Plymouth's attacking width** will lean on the pace of T. Down and C. N. Adzayo, who need to trouble Horsham's fullbacks early
- **Horsham's midfield battle** — D. Barker and J. Hammond must wrestle control from the R. Garside-heavy Plymouth engine room
- **Set-piece vulnerability** — both teams have conceded on the break; dead-ball precision could decide tight margins
Expected lineups:
- **Plymouth Parkway**: L. McCormick, C. Hall, J. Endacott, J. Sullivan, L. Afful, C. Garside, R. Garside, R. Brett, A. Neal, C. N. Adzayo, T. Down
- **Horsham FC**: C. Furber, R. Meekums, J. Brivio, J. Strange, L. Harding, D. Barker, J. Hammond, C. Hester-Cook, L. Rodrigues, D. Ajakaiye, A. Nadesan
Prediction:
**Plymouth 2–1 Horsham**. Plymouth's recent run edges them, but Horsham's firepower keeps this tight 📍
