The complete and verifiable recent form of both teams has not been established. The AP reported on 25 September 2026 that Mulbarton initially won 2-1 against Woodford Town, but this result was annulled after an error in applying Law 14, and the match was due to be replayed.

Gloucester’s schedule and results actually played before 3 October are not confirmed by an open official source. No reliable comparison of shots, xG, or pressing is available.

Context & news

The FA confirms Mulbarton Wanderers as the home team and Gloucester City as the visitors for the third qualifying round, with qualification for the next round as the verifiable stake and no first leg indicated. Mulbarton scenario: the home pitch, direct play, transitions, and set pieces could favor the home team, but these mechanisms are not confirmed by recent statistics.

Gloucester scenario: greater territorial control, avoiding second balls, and exploiting turnovers or spaces behind the full-backs could reverse the trend, without being supported by recent data on shots, xG, pressing, or lineups. The exact venue is likely the Abode Arena at Mulberry Park, but its explicit connection to this match is not confirmed.

Lineups and squad

The probable and official lineups have not been announced. The starting goalkeeper and uncertain starters for each team have not been identified. Rotation related to the FA Cup remains possible, but it is hypothetical.
