Yeovil Town will be having an opportunity to move to the third round of the FA Cup when they host Stevenage at Huish Park in Somerset on Saturday.
The Glovers are currently 10th in the National League. They reached this stage due to their impressive 5-0 victory over Yate Town in the opening round, while Stevenage beat MK Dons 2-1 in a game that went into the extra time.
Yeovil started into their FA Cup campaign by a triumphant victory over Yate Town away to move to the second stage of the tournament for a second successive campaign.
That victory sparked them up, as they have gone unbeaten in their last five matches in the National League and have not lost in five successive home games.
The Glovers were nearly knocked out of the fourth round of qualification in the FA Cup, drawing with Weymouth 1-1 before they won the replay through penalties after the match ran 120 minutes without a winner with the same results.
If they win on Saturday, it would be the first time they will have reached the third round of this competition as a non-league team since 2017-18, when they reached the fourth round before losing 4-0 to Manchester United.
Following an opening-round victory full of struggle against Milton Keynes Dons in extra time, Stevenage are capable of moving to the third round of this competition for a second successive campaign.
Paul Tisdale’s first match in charge is a memorable one as they were knocked out of the second round of the Football League Trophy Tournament, losing 4-3 in the penalty shootouts with Sutton United after the game finished 0-0 after extra time.
Tisdale has taken over a struggling team in League Two, just two points adrift the relagation and having been winless in six successive away matches in all competition.

Prediction and Odds
Yeovil have put up an impressive performance at home recently, but when it comes to the FA Cup competition, Stevenage have the experience of winning over teams in lower divisions. Despite the hosts having the ability to score here, we can predict Stevenage to go through with a victory.
