LONDON (Interstat) — A Women’s FA Cup first-round fixture on Saturday pits two teams in contrasting form as Cheltenham Town W hosts Bradford City.

The match, scheduled for Nov. 1, 2025, will be the first competitive meeting between the two sides in this season’s competition. Both clubs hold identical 0-0 records in the FA Cup this season, but their overall campaigns have diverged sharply.

Cheltenham Town W enters the contest with a perfect 2-0 record across all competitions. The Robins opened their season with a 2-0 victory on the road against Worcester City W on Aug. 21. However, they are looking to rebound from a 2-0 loss to Bournemouth W in their most recent outing on Sept. 21.

Bradford City, meanwhile, has yet to register a win or a loss this season, with its official record standing at 0-0. The Bantams’ most recent competitive match was an 11-0 defeat to Burnley on Dec. 1, 2024, a result they will be eager to put behind them as they return to official play.

According to the Interstat game simulator, the closely matched contest is projected to end in a 2-2 draw, which would see the tie advance to a replay. The matchup offers Bradford City a chance to reset its season, while Cheltenham Town W will aim to leverage its home-pitch advantage and early-season momentum to advance in the cup.
