Coral’s best bets for midweek FA Cup third round replays

Aston Villa can edge out Wycombe in close clash

Remi Garde’s Aston Villa were haplessly held by fourth-tier Wycombe Wanderers in a match which caused their supporters to react angrily towards such another underwhelming performance, though the Villans should capitalise on home advantage this time out.

Back the West Midlands club to overcome Wycombe but both teams getting on the scoresheet at 12/5 in what could still be a surprisingly testing clash for the top flight hosts.

Bradford’s Cole for goal in Bury battle

In a scoreless draw first time around, both Bradford City and Bury were unable to fully take their chances, but the League One competitors will have learnt from their mistakes ahead of this cup replay.

For the hosts, teenage marksman Devante Cole will be gunning for further goal scoring success after becoming his side’s top finisher domestically and he is 15/8 to strike anytime on home turf.

Holmes holds key for Northampton success

Ricky Holmes was in fine form for Northampton Town in the eventual 2-2 draw last time out in the FA Cup against MK Dons, and the clinical attacker will look to add to his impressive four goals in as many recent outings.

The Cobblers forward is a tasty 10/3 to net again against the Dons as he continues his rampant run of form in front of goal in previous appearances.

Eastleigh ready for cup shock over Bolton

Neil Lennon’s Bolton Wanderers have been struggling massively in the Championship and they echoed their stuttering domestic form in the recent 1-1 draw with National League side Eastleigh, with a late second-half strike sparing any further blushes.

With the second tier outfit focusing on battling back from a daunting league position, Eastleigh could pounce for a truly shocking FA Cup upset, and the visitors are 7/2 to stun their opponents on the road.

Skipper Hudson to lead Huddersfield by example again

Huddersfield Town skipper Mark Hudson has enjoyed a rare purple patch in front of goal, having dispatched in his last outings, including a cup strike in the initial match-up with Reading.

Back the club captain to lead by example once again for a third goal in as many games anytime at 12/1 in this replay during the midweek FA Cup third round replay action.
