Radcliffe host Marine in the FA Trophy Round of 128 on 14 November 2026. This non-league encounter pits two National League North sides against each other in England's premier cup competition for teams outside the Football League. Marine arrive as narrow favourites despite playing away, having demonstrated superior attacking threat and consistency in recent weeks.
Team form
Radcliffe
Radcliffe's recent record is deeply concerning. They have won only one of their last five league matches—a 2-1 victory over Morecambe on 22 August—and have lost four times, including three consecutive defeats. Most significantly, they conceded 8 goals across those five games while scoring just 2, averaging 0.4 goals per game and 1.6 against. Their defensive frailty is the primary weakness: they lost 0-1 to Bedford Town, 0-1 to Darlington 1883, 0-2 to Marine, and 0-3 to Hereford. This pattern of heavy defeats and inability to score suggests structural problems that will be difficult to overcome in a knockout tie.
Marine
Marine present a starkly different picture. Over the same five-match period, they scored 7 goals and conceded 6, averaging 1.4 per game offensively and 1.2 defensively. Crucially, they beat Radcliffe 2-0 at home on 29 August—a result that carries direct relevance to this fixture. Marine have shown they can score consistently: they defeated King's Lynn Town 4-1 on 22 August, demonstrating attacking capability. Their losses to Harborough Town, Chorley, and Hereford show vulnerability, but their attacking output and recent head-to-head success over Radcliffe provide a strong foundation.
Head-to-head
The head-to-head record between these sides favours Marine. In their last five meetings, Marine have won three, Radcliffe one, with one draw. Marine won 1-0 at home in October 2024 and 3-2 at home in September 2023. Radcliffe's sole victory came away from home in September 2022. The most recent encounter—29 August 2026, just two and a half months ago—saw Marine win 2-0 at home. This pattern of Marine dominance, particularly their ability to score against this Radcliffe defence, is a significant factor.
Key factors
Radcliffe's defensive record is the decisive factor. They have conceded 8 goals in five games and failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last four matches. Marine's attacking threat—1.4 goals per game recently and a 2-0 win over Radcliffe in August—suggests they will find opportunities. Radcliffe's inability to score (0.4 per game) means they cannot rely on a high-scoring shootout to progress. Marine's away record is stronger than Radcliffe's home form, inverting the usual home advantage. Cup football often punishes defensive fragility, and Radcliffe's recent form indicates structural problems rather than temporary dips.
Prediction
Marine hold a narrow edge as away favourites. Their superior attacking output, proven ability to score against Radcliffe's defence, and recent head-to-head dominance outweigh the traditional home advantage. Radcliffe's defensive vulnerabilities and lack of scoring power make them vulnerable in a knockout format where one mistake is often decisive. The August meeting between these sides—won 2-0 by Marine—provides a template for how this fixture may unfold. Marine's 1.4 goals per game average suggests they will create clear chances; Radcliffe's 0.4 average indicates they will struggle to respond.
Marine are marginally more likely to progress. Their attacking threat and recent form against Radcliffe give them a narrow edge despite playing away. Radcliffe's defensive fragility and inability to score make them vulnerable, particularly in a single-elimination format where defensive solidity is paramount. A low-scoring Marine victory appears the most probable outcome.
