Yate Town host Devizes Town in the FA Cup's Qualification Round 1, with a place in the next qualifying round at stake. CheckLive favour the visitors, giving Devizes Town a 65% win probability, and the signal is strong. It is a single knockout tie, so nothing is guaranteed and a draw is well within the range of outcomes.
Yate Town have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five. They beat Bracknell Town 2-1, drew 1-1 with Chertsey Town and Chippenham Town, and lost 1-4 to Taunton Town and 1-2 to Poole Town. Devizes Town have won four of their last five, beating Melksham Town 2-1, Bitton AFC 5-1, Hamworthy Recreation 1-0 and Keynsham Town 4-0, with their only setback a 0-3 loss to Wells City.
The head-to-head records show these two sides have never faced each other before. Devizes Town are CheckLive's pick, but 65% is not a lock, and with Yate Town at home, a draw is a genuine possibility. Watch for Yate's response after their mixed run, and whether Devizes can carry their winning momentum into a cup tie away from home.
