Match outlook: Aggborough set for a lively FA Trophy night
Kidderminster Harriers return to Aggborough Stadium with momentum that reads like a team on a mission. The Harriers have rattled off a run of victories across December and into January, and their recent string of results includes single-goal margins and a clean-sheet habit that has become a reliable hallmark at home. Morecambe arrive with mixed form: flashes of attacking promise on the road, but also defensive lapses and defeats in recent outings. With the fixture scheduled for 13/01/2026, the FA Trophy stage should provide a competitive, tightly fought contest under the lights in Kidderminster.
Kidderminster’s recent match reports paint a side that grinds out results. Wins against Curzon Ashton and AFC Telford United, and a defensive solidity shown in multiple 1-0 victories, underline a squad that knows how to close out matches. The home statistics available show a side generating significant volume in attack — 33 total shots across a representative sample with 16 on target — which speaks to both pressure and quality in the final third. Morecambe, by contrast, have been more inconsistent. Their December results oscillate between comfortable wins and narrow defeats, leaving questions about their ability to handle sustained pressure away from home.
Tactical edge and key moments to watch
On a tactical level, Kidderminster’s ability to control tempo at Aggborough and convert chances into narrow victories will be decisive. The Harriers’ recent best-player performances, such as Christian Dibble earning high praise in the last league win, suggest leadership and match-winning influences are present. Morecambe’s recent outing saw Paul Lewis stand out in a losing effort, but individual performances have not consistently translated into team results. The historical head-to-head edge is negligible, with the only recorded meeting long ago, so current form and home advantage are the clearest indicators heading into the tie.

Betting suggestion
Based on form, home attacking pressure, and Morecambe’s inconsistency away from home, the most sensible single-market recommendation is a 1X2 pick: Kidderminster Harriers to win. The Harriers’ recent run of wins at Aggborough and their tendency to grind out 1-0 style results point to a home victory as the likeliest outcome in this FA Trophy Round 4 clash.
