Team Form

Worcester City come into this cup match with a mixed run of results in the Southern League Premier Division. Their last five outings read D, D, L, W, D, featuring a 4–4 draw with Spalding United and a 3–1 home victory over Redditch United as the highlight. That sequence shows they are tough to beat but have struggled to turn draws into wins.

Rugby Town’s recent form in the Northern Division One is less convincing. Their last five results stand at L, L, W, L, D. A 2–0 away win at Long Eaton United in February was a rare bright spot, but defeats to Rushden & Diamonds (0–3) and Belper Town (1–4) highlight defensive vulnerabilities that Worcester City could exploit.

Head-to-Head Record

The head-to-head record between these two sides consists of just one previous meeting — the reverse of this fixture, which ended in a 2–2 draw on October 3, 2025. With one draw and no wins for either side, history offers little to separate the teams.
