Football – England – FA Cup Betting Tips
Following a 1-1 draw at Crawley Town, Tuesday evening’s hosts Bristol Rovers now appear to be in the driving seat for this FA Cup 1st round replay when they return to the Memorial Stadium to take on League Two outfit Crawley Town on home turf.
Bristol Rovers suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat away at Millwall in League One on the weekend, but home form in recent weeks has been quite steady as The Pirates have captured wins over Port Vale, Gillingham and Fleetwood Town and have lost just once on home soil in their last six league matches.
Rovers possess some dangerous attacking personnel too in the shape of leading goalscorer Matty Taylor (11 goals), along with support from Easter and Montano as Rovers look to progress to the next round in this year’s competition.
Visitors Crawley Town were also on the losing side on the weekend when they went down to a 3-1 defeat at home to Cambridge United which meant that Crawley have now gone seven matches without a win in all competitions.
Crawley are also without a win from their last five League Two matches and they sit in the bottom half of the English fourth tier having to make the tough trip away to Bristol Rovers in this FA Cup 1st round replay having lost their last three matches on the trot.
Defeats in League Two away at Cheltenham Town and Carlisle United along with a heavy 4-0 loss at Southampton Under 23’s in the EFL Trophy can’t be good for their confidence.
Interestingly, these two sides met in the 2013/14 season FA Cup and after a 0-0 draw, Bristol Rovers ran out 2-1 winners in the replay – tonight could be a repeat of that result.
