FA Cup acca
Horsham vs Barnsley: Both teams to score
Forest Green vs Scarborough: Both teams to score
Grimsby vs Slough: Both teams to score
Horsham vs Barnsley
It does seem odd that Horsham would score three at Oakwell and the bookmakers would give us a price approaching even money for both teams to score.
There’s no doubt Barnsley were slacking on that evening and they’ll be much more focused for this replay. Progression is likely, but we expect the non-League side to have their moments.
Forest Green Rovers vs Scarborough Athletic
Forest Green are having a terrible season and we backed Scarborough to beat them in our 53/1 FA Cup acca. However, Rovers scored an injury-time equaliser.
This will be another uncomfortable evening that they could do without. The visitors have scored 15 in 10 on their travels and the hosts don’t keep many clean sheets.
Grimsby Town vs Slough Town
Grimsby also left it late as Danny Rose struck in the 75th minute to secure a replay. Slough know they have nothing to fear and they've avoided defeat in seven of 10 on the road.
The visitors are in very good goalscoring form, averaging two per game away from home, and the Mariners have conceded at least once in each of their last 14.
