FA Cup Special: Our Expert Tips & Staking Plan

We have a week off from the Premier League action this week as the FA Cup kicks off for the big teams, We have still got you covered though.

Season Results:
  • +2.88 units of profit
  • ROI: 2%

Chorley v Derby County

The Derby team has been decimated by coronavirus. A number of positive tests mean that they will be fielding a team of under 23s and 18s. They are facing a non-league team though and while Chorley are actually favourites for this game, the young Derby team will have plenty to prove. Take the value with the youngsters coming out on top.

Arsenal v Newcastle

Holders Arsenal kick off their defence against Newcastle. And while we are likely to see two weakened sides, the Gunners look to have the edge. Their second string has had a lot of match experience this season between the Europa League and League Cup and they can use that experience here. Eddie Nketiah has been leading the attack for Arsenal in those games and can get on the scoresheet.

Stevenage v Swansea

Swansea are flying in the Championship. Second in the table right now and in very good form. They can carry that into this game and win against a lower division opponent. They should be far too strong for Stevenage, even if they rotate their team.

Brighton v Wolves

The FA Cup throws up some real mismatches, particularly early on in this competition. That means we can often need to parlay some short prices together. Brentford, Manchester United and Leeds look far too strong for their opponents and a three team parlay is nice value.
