Expected score: Workington 0-1 Cleethorpes Town
WorkingtonDrawCleethorpes Town
Workington host Cleethorpes Town in the FA Trophy 1/128-finals on 27 October 2026. Both sides arrive in strong form from the Non League Premier - Northern, where they have dominated their recent fixtures. This is a meeting between two attacking units in good shape, though the underlying metrics suggest a tight contest with an edge to the visitors.
Team form
Workington
Workington have won all five of their last league matches, scoring 14 goals and conceding just 6. They put three past Ilkeston Town, Lancaster City, and Leek Town in successive outings, demonstrating consistent attacking threat. Their defensive record is respectable at 1.2 per game, though they have conceded in each of those five matches — a pattern worth noting against an opponent as prolific as Cleethorpes.
Cleethorpes Town
Cleethorpes Town's recent form is marginally sharper. Four wins in five, with only a 1-3 home loss to Curzon Ashton breaking the sequence, yields 15 goals scored and just 4 conceded. That 0.8 goals-against average is significantly tighter than Workington's. The 6-0 demolition of Whitby Town and 3-0 victories over Gainsborough Trinity and Ilkeston Town show an attack firing with real efficiency. They have conceded in only one of those five games.
Head-to-head
The head-to-head record is mixed. Workington won 3-2 at home in their most recent meeting, but the two sides drew 1-1 twice before that, and Cleethorpes won 2-1 away in December 2025. There is no clear pattern of dominance, though Workington's home record in this fixture stands at one win and one draw.
Key factors
Cleethorpes' defensive discipline is the standout metric here. Conceding 0.8 per game against Workington's 1.2 suggests a more organised backline. Workington, however, have shown they can score in volume — 2.8 per game — and their home advantage is tangible. The head-to-head record hints at competitive balance rather than hierarchy. From a tactical view, Cleethorpes' tighter shape and efficiency in transition may frustrate Workington's attacking rhythm, particularly if the hosts press high and leave space in behind.
Prediction
The model favours Cleethorpes despite Workington's home advantage. The visitors' superior defensive record, combined with their clinical finishing (15 goals in five games), edges them in a finely balanced tie. Workington's tendency to concede in every recent match is a vulnerability Cleethorpes will target. Expected goals lean slightly to the away side, and the head-to-head history offers no strong case for a home win. This is not a clear-cut verdict — Workington remain dangerous — but the data tilts toward the visitors.
Cleethorpes Town to win, though expect a competitive match with both sides capable of scoring. The tie is tight, and Workington's home record keeps them in contention, but Cleethorpes' defensive solidity and recent efficiency make them the slight edge in the FA Trophy.
