Form Guide — Last 5
Kettering Town
Kettering's recent league run includes a 2‑2 draw away at Wellingborough Town and a 2‑1 home win over the same side. The draw shows they can concede, but the win demonstrates they can also break down a familiar opponent, reinforcing their ability to secure three points at home in this cup tie.
Quorn
Quorn come into the match after a 2‑1 home victory over Shepshed Dynamo, showing they can score when they win. However, with only one result to cite and a zero away‑goals‑for average, their attacking threat on the road appears limited, suggesting they may struggle to overturn Kettering's home advantage.

In the last three meetings Kettering have won two (3‑1 in March 2026 and 2‑0 in November 2025) and lost one (1‑2 in September 2025), indicating a recent edge that aligns with the model’s win forecast.
