Southall 2-1 Cobham result, stats and report

Southall dominated large portions of this FA Cup tie but were undone in a frantic six-minute spell before half-time, and they never fully recovered. Dorking equalised in the 85th minute to earn a draw they barely deserved on the stats.

Cobham arrive at Southall on Saturday carrying the more convincing recent record, but the FA Cup has a long history of rewarding home sides who are difficult to break down. The interesting thing is that what little data we have tells a story worth examining carefully.

Both sides arrive at this FA Cup tie on the back of opening wins, but the patterns behind those results tell very different stories. Sophie Hargreaves breaks down what Saturday's fixture could actually look like.

With the FA Cup first extra preliminary round just over a week away, our prediction model gives Cobham a 53.1% chance of victory against Fisher, while also flagging this as a strong candidate for goals at both ends.
