LONDON (Interstat) — Two clubs on divergent form trajectories will meet Saturday in the FA Trophy as Spennymoor Town hosts AFC Fylde.

The fifth-round fixture, scheduled for Nov. 15, 2025, at The Brewery Field, pits a surging Fylde side against a Spennymoor team that has not played a competitive match in nearly two months.

AFC Fylde enters the contest in strong overall form, boasting a record of 4-1-1 across all competitions this season. They are riding a three-game winning streak, including a 1-0 victory over Marine AFC on Nov. 1. Their most notable result was a decisive 5-0 away win against this same Spennymoor Town side in a league match on Oct. 21.

In contrast, Spennymoor Town’s season has been limited. The club holds a perfect 1-0-0 record in all competitions, with its last outing a 3-0 victory over Bedford Town on Sept. 20. The extended layoff creates a significant unknown regarding the team’s match fitness and sharpness.

Both teams are 0-0-0 in this season’s FA Trophy, making this their debut in the competition.

Despite the stark contrast in recent activity and Fylde’s dominant head-to-head victory last month, the Interstat game simulator projects a tightly contested affair, predicting a 1-1 draw.

The match will test whether AFC Fylde’s current momentum can overcome a potential rust factor for the hosts and if Spennymoor can find immediate cohesion after the long hiatus.
