On Friday night, struggling League Two outfit Yeovil host Manchester United at Huish Park in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

The home side are currently in the depths of League Two, just two points above the relegation zone. Their recent record in all competitions is inconsistent of late, as the Glovers have won three, lost two and drawn one of their last six games in all competitions.

Although Yeovil’s recent games have not been that high scoring, there have been at least two goals scored in their last eight games in all competitions.

Darren Way’s side have defeated Southend, Port Vale and last time out Bradford City to make it to this stage of the competition. Manchester United offers a far tougher test for the home side.

The home side have had a bit of a mixed recent record at Huish Park of late. They have won four of their last five home games in all competitions, though.

Manchester United are in a decent vein of form heading to Yeovil. Jose Mourinho’s team are unbeaten in seven games, having recorded wins in their last four games in all competitions.

The Red Devils recent games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five games in all competitions.

The visitors recorded a comfortable 2-0 win over Championship Derby County in the last round to make it to this stage of the competition. The men from Manchester have a good recent record in this competition, as they have lost just once in their last 12 games in the FA Cup.

United also have a decent recent away record, winning five of their last seven games in all competitions.

Forebet predicts that there will no giant killing here and United will progress to the fifth round of the competition with a narrow victory.
