Leatherhead won
Leatherhead host Ramsgate in the FA Trophy with home advantage looking like the decisive factor in an otherwise tightly contested tie. Both non-league sides come into this fixture with modest recent form, but Leatherhead's familiarity with their own surface and set-up gives them a tangible edge in a competition where cup pedigree and squad depth can be thin on both sides.
There is no fresh team news of note this week, with no confirmed injuries, suspensions, or tactical shifts reported for either camp. In the absence of new information, the underlying head-to-head record and current league form continue to favour the hosts, who have shown slightly more consistency domestically heading into this round.
Ramsgate will look to frustrate Leatherhead and make the tie competitive, and the 30% win probability assigned to the visitors reflects a genuine chance of an upset or a share of the spoils. The draw remains a live outcome at 28%, underlining how finely balanced this FA Trophy clash is expected to be on paper.
For bettors, the home win looks the most logical single-result angle, though the tight percentage spread suggests value may lie in double-chance markets covering Leatherhead or the draw, rather than backing the outright favourite at short odds. With confidence in this prediction rated low due to the lack of match-specific intelligence, cautious staking is advised until team news closer to kick-off firms up the picture.

Leatherhead go into this final unbeaten in three, drawing 3-3 at Three Bridges and edging past Kingstonian 1-0 in the FA Cup. Earlier form included a bright run of wins over Aveley, Croydon Athletic, and Eastbourne Borough, though there were also blips against Dulwich Hamlet and Maldon & Tiptree. The attack has looked sharp, netting freely across recent matches, but defensive solidity has been inconsistent with several games conceding multiple goals. With three days' rest and medium fatigue risk after a congested fixture list, squad freshness could be a slight concern in this decisive match.

Ramsgate's build-up has been shakier, losing their last outing 2-1 to Tonbridge Angels in the FA Cup after a run of mixed results. They showed attacking promise with wins over St Albans City and Whyteleafe by wide margins, but conceded costly late defeats to Enfield Town and Welling United. Ramsgate also lost the reverse fixture to Leatherhead just weeks ago. On the plus side, they arrive with six days' rest and low fatigue risk, giving them a recovery advantage heading into this final.
Leatherhead vs Ramsgate - Match Analysis
Leatherhead's edge comes primarily from their head-to-head dominance, having beaten Ramsgate twice recently, including a commanding 4-1 FA Trophy win last season. They also arrive unbeaten in three matches, showing resilience in tight games. While the margin isn't huge, this recent history combined with solid current form gives Leatherhead a measurable advantage heading into this winner-takes-all decider.
Given the tight nature of this final, Double Chance (Leatherhead or Draw) offers safer value than backing an outright win. For goals markets, Over 2.5 Goals looks appealing since both teams have shown attacking quality and defensive vulnerability throughout their recent matches. Draw No Bet on Leatherhead is another solid hedge, capturing their head-to-head edge while limiting draw risk.
This is the FA Trophy final — a true winner-takes-all occasion with no second chances. The loser is eliminated immediately, and there's no aggregate score or second leg to fall back on. Both clubs are chasing major non-league silverware, making this the biggest fixture of their season, with reputations and a trophy on the line in a single decisive ninety minutes.
