FCUM – Chesterfield

Conference North side United of Manchester will take on League One club Chesterfield at Broadhurst Park in the First round of the FA Cup.

United of Manchester is a team formed by disgusted Manchester United fans as a response against the American ownership and the hosts are currently activating in the 6th tier of English football. Unfortunately for United, they might find themselves in the 7th tier next season if they don`t improve on their current form. The hosts are just one point over the relegation line and managed to lose the last 6 matches in Conference North, scoring just twice in the process.

Chesterfield is sitting on a comfortable 11th place in League One and the visitors are in very good form, winning 3 of the last 4 matches. Last time out it was a 1-0 win at Fleetwood 10 days ago, so Chesterfield will be the fresher team ahead of this match, as United of Manchester played a match just 6 days ago. The visitors will look to repeat last seasons’ success in the FA Cup, when they reached the 4th round – their best ever showing in the competition.

Team news: United of Manchester has no injuries or suspensions ahead of this game, while Chesterfield will only miss Angel Martinez. The visitors traveled with a very strong side and will field a competitive lineup, even if the manager will choose to rotate a bit and give some substitutes a chance.

Chesterfield got a taste of FA Cup success last year both from a sporting standpoint but also regarding the financial recipe, so they will be motivated to put on a similar performance this season – especially since they will likely finish mid table in League One, having no stress there. This is visible from the strong squad they brought to Manchester.

Coming to Broadhurst Park in good form and well rested, I reckon Chesterfield will easily take care of a side that is playing 3 divisions below them and is in atrocious form. If the hosts were in great shape and Chesterfield was struggling, you could argue that an upset can happen, but the current circumstances seem to all be in favor of the visiting side. Can`t see any factor to suggest a surprise result, so my tip is Chesterfield to win with a 1 goal asian handicap. Prediction: United of Manchester – Chesterfield 0-2.
