Non-League Buxton face League One Morecambe in this second round FA Cup tie at the Tarmac Silverlands Stadium. The magic of the FA cup is evident when a team like Buxton currently in the Northern Premier Division, Tier 7 of English football can match their skill against a League One team. The home team are currently fourth on their league table with 18 points, two behind the leaders but they have two games in hand. Buxton had an excellent win in the first round when they beat York 1-0 away from home. York are currently one tier higher than Buxton. The huge gulf in league standings between Buxton and Morecambe will not faze the home team who have only lost once in their last 13 home matches. This is Buxton’s first match in the FA Cup second round since the 1958/59 season when they lost 6-1 to Accrington Stanley.

The visitors are currently in League One with 19 points and sit in 20th position just two points clear of the relegation zone. They will be looking for a change in fortunes with a good Cup run. Morecambe will be looking to reach the third round for just the fifth time in their history. If they win it will be the first time they have reached the third round in successive seasons. Morecambe do not have a great record against non-league teams having lost two of their previous five meetings with non-league opposition. They have only won one of their last six away matches with five losses.
