Football – England – FA Cup Betting Tips

Coventry City’s six-match unbeaten streak came to an abrupt end on Saturday when they lost 1-0 at home to League One leaders Scunthorpe United at the Ricoh Arena, but the Sky Blues have a chance to rectify things to a degree when they take on League Two side Morecambe in Tuesday night’s FA Cup 1st round replay.

Coventry were held to a 1-1 draw at the Globe Arena against Morecambe last week, and no doubt tonight’s hosts Coventry will be looking to finish the job in normal time on Tuesday evening to progress to the next round.

Prior to the defeat to Scunthorpe United, Coventry had actually put together a staggering 14-match unbeaten run at home in all competitions including having won their last four home matches on the trot, and they should bounce back with a win this evening.

Visitors Morecambe also tasted defeat on the weekend as they went down to a 2-0 loss away at Wycombe Wanderers which ended a run of four matches without defeat away from home in all competitions for The Shrimps.

Morecambe possess a fairly limited pedigree in the FA Cup due to being a non-league side for the bulk of their existence since 1920, and they’ve managed to register just one away win from their nine matches played on the road in the FA Cup which was a 1-0 win at Rochdale back in 2012.

Since then, they’ve lost at tonight’s opponents Coventry City as well as Dover Athletic and drew at Dagenham & Redbridge in a 0-0 stalemate.

This really should be a home win for Coventry, particularly considering their solid form on home turf  in recent times.
