Total goals prediction: Over 2.5 Goals
Four of Stevenage's previous five matches have seen 2.5 goals or more scored with Stevenage scoring three times on two occasions. Maidstone have seen two games in their previous five finish with 2.5 goals or more scored but this is an FA Cup fixture, league form goes out the window.
Both teams to score prediction: Yes
Seven of Stevenage's previous eight matches in all competitions have seen both teams find the back of the net while Maidstone have scored well over one goal per match in the sixth tier this season. Despite the massive difference in the leagues, the FA Cup usually springs up a surprise or two.

Stevenage absolutely should win this match. Steve Evans loves a cup run and he will be determined to ensure his Stevenage side get through to the fourth round of the FA Cup. Maidstone have lost three of their previous five matches, two of which were by a big goal margin of four goals. We can not see Stevenage hammering Maidstone in this match but we can certainly see the League One side winning.
