Grimsby Town FC to Host Weston-super-Mare AFC in Women’s FA Cup Clash

GRIMSBY, England (Interstat) — A Women’s FA Cup fixture on Saturday pits Grimsby Town FC at home against visiting Weston-super-Mare AFC in a matchup featuring teams with contrasting recent form.

The game is scheduled for Jan. 10, 2026, at Grimsby’s Blundell Park.

Weston-super-Mare AFC enters the cup tie with momentum from a positive run in domestic league play. Their most recent result was a 1-0 home victory over Needham Market FC on Oct. 11, 2025. That win extended an unbeaten streak that includes a 2-0 away win at Poole Town on Sept. 27 and a 3-0 home victory against Taunton Town on Sept. 16. Their lone blemish in this stretch was a 1-1 draw at Taunton on Sept. 13.

In contrast, Grimsby Town FC has not played a competitive match since Nov. 1, 2025, when it defeated Ebbsfleet United FC 3-1 at home. The lengthy layoff could be a factor in the team’s match sharpness.

Statistical projections for the contest present a conflicting outlook. Interstat’s game simulator predicts a narrow 1-0 victory for the visitors, Weston-super-Mare AFC. However, the same organization’s ELO rating system calculates Grimsby Town FC with a 60.60% probability to win the match.

The Women’s FA Cup often produces unpredictable results, with lower-division sides challenging clubs from higher tiers. This matchup will test Weston-super-Mare’s current form against a Grimsby side that has been idle but is favored by one key metric.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time. The winner will advance to the next round of the historic knockout competition.
