Boston United enter this cup fixture after a 2-2 draw with Tamworth in their most recent fifth-tier encounter. Their league campaign has seen them collect seven points from six matches, leaving them nine points behind early leaders Boreham Wood. The team has shown a balanced approach so far, scoring eight goals and conceding eight for a zero goal difference.
