Salisbury host Sholing at The Raymond McEnhill Stadium on Saturday 7 November (kick-off 3pm UK) in the FA Cup 1st Round, a tie between two non-league sides with a place in the 2nd Round at stake. Both have been hard to score against on the way here: Salisbury have won all three of their ties this season, scoring 12 and conceding 1, and Sholing have won all four, scoring 7 and conceding 1.
Midnite make Salisbury the clear favourites, at 1.40 to win in 90 minutes. Salisbury have been the busier side in front of goal, while none of Sholing's four wins has been by more than two goals.
Salisbury's run has been emphatic. They beat Taunton Town 4-1 on 19 September, then Dulwich Hamlet 5-0 on 3 October, and most recently Eastbourne Borough 3-0 on 17 October, all at home. They average four goals a game in this season's FA Cup, the 5th most of the 651 teams we rank, and all three of their ties have gone over 2.5 goals. Their shots on target average of four a game is the 32nd most of 642, and their 1.67 corners a game is the 110th most.
They have been tight at the back too. Salisbury kept a clean sheet in two of their three ties, the 14th highest rate, and their goals against average of 0.33 is the 12th fewest. In last season's FA Cup they drew 1-1 at home to Dorking Wanderers and lost 4-2 at Dorking three days later.
Sholing's four ties have all been wins: 2-0 against Andover New Street on 5 September, 1-0 at Tiverton Town on 19 September, 2-1 at Ebbsfleet on 3 October and 2-0 against SE Døns on 17 October. They have kept three clean sheets from four, the 11th highest rate, and their goals against average of 0.25 is the 11th fewest. Their last defeat in the FA Cup was a 2-1 home loss to Eastbourne Borough last September.
The gap is in attack. Sholing average 1.75 goals a game, the 208th most of 651 teams, and have scored two goals in three of their four ties, against Salisbury's four a game. Only one of Salisbury's three ties and one of Sholing's four has seen both teams score.
