Bradford City head into this FA Cup clash in solid form, currently holding a place in the League Two play-offs with 22 points from 14 matches. They have shown resilience lately, winning three of their last five games, positioning themselves as favourites against National League side Aldershot Town.

Bradford’s consistency in front of goal has been impressive, finding the net in each of their last seven matches. Meanwhile, Aldershot have struggled with consistency, winning only twice in their last 11 matches, with those victories coming against Eastleigh and Bath City. Their offensive output has been lacklustre as well, failing to score in six of those games, which highlights their limited attacking threat.

Bradford’s recent performances and Aldershot’s inconsistencies make the Bantams clear favourites, especially considering Bradford’s track record against them in the FA Cup. These teams have met twice in the FA Cup over the past decade, with Bradford progressing both times.

Chesterfield have been in strong form this season, currently sixth in League Two with 22 points from 14 games. Their recent unbeaten streak of seven games has established them as favourites in this FA Cup tie against Isthmian League Premier Division side Horsham.

Chesterfield’s recent matches have been goal-heavy, with at least three goals scored in 86% of their last seven games, and the Spireites have scored at least twice in six of these matches. This indicates that Chesterfield not only have the attacking firepower but have also shown consistency in creating high-scoring games. Horsham, on the other hand, are ninth in the Isthmian League Premier Division, having scored twice in their last three outings.

However, facing a side like Chesterfield presents a different challenge, especially with the Spireites’ proven form and home advantage. Given Chesterfield’s attacking prowess and their recent high-scoring games, over 2.5 goals looks highly likely and 1.40 is a solid acca-boosting price to get it onside.

In this FA Cup showdown, Rochdale host Bromley in what could be a goal-filled affair. Rochdale, currently sixth in the National League, have seen both teams score in 4 of their last 5 games.

Bromley, promoted from the National League last season, have continued their goalscoring run into League Two, with 10 of their last 13 matches ending with both teams scoring. Southend United are the only team to have kept a clean sheet against Bromley in this recent run, emphasising their vulnerability at the back despite their offensive strength.

With both teams in form in front of goal and struggling defensively, the odds favour another BTTS outcome. 1.62 is a lovely price for both backlines to be breached.

Stockport County’s FA Cup meeting with Forest Green Rovers is set up to be a goal-rich affair. Stockport’s season has been marked by high-scoring games, with 16 of their 17 matches producing at least two goals. They average 2.46 goals per game and their only goalless match came against Wigan Athletic, emphasising the trend towards games with at least two goals.

Stockport have won twice in their last eight matches, securing victories over Reading and Shrewsbury, while conceding enough to keep their games high-scoring. Meanwhile, Forest Green Rovers, sitting second in the National League with 34 points from 16 games, have also shown a pattern for high-scoring encounters, averaging 2.6 goals per game.

Recent form further supports this, as 8 of Forest Green’s last 10 matches have seen two or more goals scored.

Swindon Town’s FA Cup fixture against Colchester United brings together two League Two teams struggling defensively, making both teams to score an appealing prospect.

Swindon, 22nd in the league, have seen BTTS in each of their last four games, with only four clean sheets in 17 matches this season. Their defensive struggles mirror those of Colchester, who sit one spot higher in 21st place and have seen both teams score in 80% of their last five games.

Across 34 combined games this season, these two sides have managed just seven clean sheets in total, with Colchester keeping only three and Swindon four. This lack of defensive solidity and Swindon’s inability to keep a clean sheet, coupled with Colchester’s high BTTS rate, suggest a competitive, end-to-end match.

Wycombe have been prolific in League One, boasting an impressive 3.5 goals per game average in their opening 12 matches. Their scoring form, combined with defensive gaps, has led to games filled with goals; notably, 10 of their last 11 outings have seen at least three goals.

York City, meanwhile, sit at the top of the National League and have scored 28 goals in just 16 games. This translates to an average of more than 1.7 goals per game for York, whose recent form has seen each of their last four games feature at least three goals. With Wycombe’s attack on home soil and York’s tendency to score freely, we’ll likely witness multiple goals in this FA Cup matchup. Expect an entertaining game that could easily surpass the 2-goal mark given both teams’ recent form.
