Bath City host Weymouth FC in FA Cup Qualification Round 1, with a place in the next qualifying round at stake. CheckLive favours Weymouth, giving the visitors a 63% win probability, and the signal is high. That still leaves room for a draw or a Bath upset, so this is not a foregone conclusion.
Bath City come into this match with just one win in their last five league games, beating Hanworth Villa 1-0 but losing to Frome Town 0-1 and Uxbridge 1-2, with draws against Basingstoke Town and Plymouth Parkway. Weymouth, by contrast, have won all five of their most recent matches, including a 6-0 FA Cup Preliminary Round victory over Shepton Mallet and a 5-1 league win against Dorchester Town.
The head-to-head record favours Bath City historically, with four wins, three draws and one loss in eight meetings. However, the most recent meeting, in February 2025 in the National League South, ended with a 0-3 win for Weymouth. The key question is whether Weymouth's current attacking confidence can overcome Bath's past dominance in this fixture.
