This FA Cup semi-final is a direct replay of the sides' meeting three days ago, which finished 1-1 at Stafford. Halesowen arrive in strong form: four wins and a draw from their last five, conceding in only 2 of those 5 games. Stafford have won three of five but shipped seven goals across that run and lost heavily to Gloucester in between.
The numbers favour the hosts. Halesowen kept 3 clean sheets in 5 and scored in all 5 of their recent fixtures. Stafford went over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5, suggesting a porous defence that Halesowen's attack - 10 goals in 5 - can exploit at home. The only head-to-head on record ended level, but that was on Stafford's ground.
Halesowen at home, with a superior defensive record and home advantage now in their favour, look the value call. Draw no bet - Halesowen. No odds are available so shop around for the best price on offer.
