Tuesday's FA Cup predictions including Derby County vs. Crewe Alexandra

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's FA Cup fixtures, including Derby County vs. Crewe Alexandra.


Horsham vs. Barnsley (Tuesday, 7.30pm)

Seventh-tier Horsham will look to reach the FA Cup second round for only the second time in their 142-year history when they face Barnsley in Tuesday's replay.

The League One side will make the trip to Sussex after they were held to a 3-3 draw in the initial first-round meeting at Oakwell.

We say: Horsham 1-3 Barnsley


Although Barnsley may have slipped up to draw the initial cup meeting, we do not see history repeating itself, which is why we believe the Football League side will utilise their extra-quality to claim an away win and secure their place in the second round.

York City vs. Chester (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

York City will be bidding to use home advantage on Tuesday evening when they welcome Chester FC to York Community Stadium for an FA Cup first-round replay.

The two sides could not be separated when they locked horns at the home of Chester earlier this month, so another game is required to determine which team will advance to the second round of the tournament.

We say: York City 2-1 Chester FC


This is a really difficult match to call, as Chester demonstrated in their clash earlier this month that they can compete with York. The home side can call upon the greater quality, though, and we are expecting the National League side to shade a close match on Tuesday night.

Forest Green Rovers will be bidding to avoid an FA Cup shock exit when they welcome Scarborough Athletic to The New Lawn for a first-round replay on Tuesday night.

The two sides could not be separated when they locked horns earlier this month, with Forest Green needing a 93rd-minute leveller through Olly Sully to prevent them from losing in North Yorkshire.

We say: Forest Green Rovers 1-0 Scarborough Athletic


Scarborough Athletic are more than capable of picking up a win on Tuesday evening, and we are expecting a very close match. Forest Green should have enough quality to edge the game, though, and we are backing the League Two side to advance to the second round of the competition.

Burton Albion vs. Port Vale (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Burton Albion and Port Vale will meet for the third time this season when they go head-to-head in Tuesday's FA Cup first-round replay.

The Brewers won 3-2 in September's league clash, before the two sides played out a goalless draw in the initial cup meeting.

We say: Burton Albion 2-1 Port Vale


Although Burton are winless in five competitive matches, four of those games have taken place away from the Pirelli Stadium.

Having won four of their previous four home encounters, we think the Brewers will make full use of home advantage to secure their passage to the second round.

Accrington vs. Doncaster (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Accrington Stanley and Doncaster Rovers will re-commence battle when they go toe-to-toe in Tuesday's FA Cup replay.

The winner of the first-round tie will go on to face one of Salford City or Peterborough United at the start of December

We say: Accrington Stanley 2-1 Doncaster Rovers


Doncaster have proven to be poor travellers in recent times, having lost four of their last five competitive away matches.

Meanwhile, Accrington have claimed three wins in their previous five home games, and we think they will make full use of home advantage to record a narrow victory.

Salford City vs. Peterborough (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

After playing out a 2-2 draw in the original meetings, Salford City and Peterborough United will re-commence battle when they go head-to-head in Tuesday's FA Cup replay.

The winner of the first-round tie will go on to play host to either Doncaster Rovers or Accrington Stanley at the start of December.

We say: Salford City 1-2 Peterborough United


Peterborough claimed a 3-0 away victory over Salford in last season's FA Cup replay, and while we believe Tuesday's contest will produce a closer scoreline, we still expect the visitors to emerge victorious.

Grimsby Town vs. Slough (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Having survived an FA Cup giant killing by the skin of their teeth, Grimsby Town welcome National League South outfit Slough Town to Blundell Park for Tuesday's first-round replay.

The League Two side came from behind to salvage a 1-1 draw versus their non-league counterparts on November 5, and a trip to Oxford United awaits the victors in the second round.

We say: Grimsby Town 3-1 Slough Town


With a taste for goals on the road and nothing to lose at Blundell Park, Slough are not to be underestimated by their more esteemed counterparts, but ongoing rearguard concerns could prove to be their downfall.

It has been nine years since Grimsby last suffered an FA Cup proper home defeat, and we expect the Mariners to prolong that golden streak and bring the Slough fairytale to an end.

Derby vs. Crewe (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Having come from two goals down to keep their FA Cup dream alive, Derby County welcome Crewe Alexandra to Pride Park for Tuesday's first-round replay.

The Rams fought back to hold their League Two counterparts to a 2-2 draw earlier this month, and a home clash with Bristol Rovers in the second round is on offer for the victors.

We say: Derby County 2-0 Crewe Alexandra


From staring down the barrel of defeat to a straightforward path into the second round of the FA Cup, Derby County ought to use home advantage and their recent goalscoring exploits to their advantage on Tuesday.

Crewe's League Two record offers the Railwaymen some hope of a successful evening, but Bell's side will surely be made to pay for their late collapse in the opening fixture as Derby set up a second-round battle with Bristol Rovers.
