The beauty of the FA Cup will be on show once again when Isthmian League North Division side Maldon & Tiptree face Port Vale. This will be a first-round tie, and is set to be hosted at Vale Park. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Hosts Port Vale have already hosted a top cup game when Arsenal came visiting. This time they are poised for success as they face the lowest ranked side still in the competition.
The game comes at a good time for Port Vale, who have failed to win any of their last three matches. After the 3-0 loss to Stockport County this is the chance to bounce back.
Maldon & Tiptree on their part, are coming off three straight wins and will be fired up for this match. This will be their first competitive outing in three weeks.
They secured their slot here courtesy of a 1-0 win at home to Flackwell. In the FA Cup, the visitors had earlier beaten Waltham Abbey and Stanway back in September.
With only one loss in the last five matches, the Essex-based side will arrive in Stoke on Trent confident of causing an early upset. The Jammers are ranked over 100 places below Port Vale.
