PLYMOUTH PARKWAY v BERKHAMSTEAD PREVIEW

It’s remarkable to think that two sides from the same division, the seventh tier of the English football pyramid, could be drawn against each other in the FA Cup First Round. Yet, here we are.

Plymouth Parkway have enjoyed an encouraging start to the season and currently sit fourth in the Southern League.

They booked their place in the First Round for the first time in their history with a 2-0 victory over Chertsey Town in the final qualifying round. No doubt they would have been dreaming of a glamour tie against the likes of Leicester City or Sheffield Wednesday, but first they must get past fellow seventh-tier outfit Berkhamsted to keep that dream alive.

Berkhamsted, meanwhile, sit mid-table in the same division and will also be dreaming of reaching the Second Round for the first time in their history.

They will take plenty of confidence into this tie, having already pulled off a major shock in the previous round by knocking out National League side Southend United.

Plymouth Parkway have been the better side in their respective division, but Berkhamstead have proven themselves more in the FA Cup so far this season after that superb win against Southend United in the Fourth Qualifying Round.

That’s why I like the look of an away win at 13/8 with starsports.bet.
