**Wimborne's on a tidy run of form, but Chelmsford just beat Brackley — this FA Cup clash has proper sting to it.** 🔥
Wimborne have picked up 2 wins in their last five and drawn the other three, looking solid. Chelmsford hit form at exactly the right moment with three wins in five, though they did slip up at home to Spalding. Both sides smell blood in the Cup.
Key storylines:
- **Chelmsford's attacking threat** — **D. Olopade** and **L. Taylor** have been clinical recently, and they'll test **C. Plain** early and often
- **Wimborne's midfield control** — **Á. D. Villa** and **B. Scorey** need to dominate the engine room to keep Chelmsford's tempo down
- **Set-piece margins** — with both sides compact defensively, dead-ball moments could decide it
Expected lineups:
- **Wimborne Town**: C. Plain, A. Roberts, D. Strugnell, J. Lee, J. McQuoid, Á. D. Villa, B. Scorey, J. Carmichael, C. Munn, L. Williams, O. Dennet
- **Chelmsford City**: W. Eastwood, H. Barbrook, B. Tompkins, J. Grimwood, K. Ronan, R. Holmes, L. Dunne, J. Barham, C. Cooper, D. Olopade, L. Taylor
Prediction:
**Chelmsford City 1–1 Wimborne Town** (Chelmsford edges it on the away goal rule or penalties). Chelmsford have sharper momentum, but Wimborne's draw-heavy form keeps them in it. 📋
