The Daily Acca: An FA Cup special

No Foxes repeat at Rodney Parade

Bet 1: Back Middlesbrough @ 20/23 - KO 19:45 GMT

The Boro have to travel to Newport tonight as they failed to get the job done at the Riverside. They led until very late into the game, but conceded a last minute equaliser - something which would have angered Tony Pulis as his side are chasing for promotion.

A trip to Rodney Parade has already proved to be too much for Leicester City this year, but the Foxes were dire on the day, and Middlesbrough are in decent form.

The visitors are unbeaten in seven and have won three of their last four away from home. The hosts meanwhile have won just one of their last five since their victory over Leicester, and they failed to beat Port Vale in their latest match in front of their own fans.

Pompey to be ousted by QPR

Bet 2: Back QPR @ 10/11 - KO 19:45 GMT

QPR have had a bit of a dip in form of late, but then so have opponents, Portsmouth, and I think that home advantage could prove key in this match.

Steve McClaren's men have lost their last three Championship games, but prior to that they had gone five without a defeat - three wins and two draws.

Pompey are pushing for back to back promotions, but they have slipped to third, following a run of just one point from a possible 12, and away from home it's one win in five - three of which were defeats.

Rangers have won six of their last nine at Loftus Road, and they should have enough about them to make it seven from 10 this evening.

Bees to buzz again

Bet 3: Back BTTS in Brentford v Barnet @ 6/5 - KO 19:45 GMT

The first fixture in the battle of the Bees was a cracker as they drew 3-3 at the Hive, and while I doubt that we will get another six goals here, I do believe that both teams will get on the scoresheet.

The Championship club are the clear favourites, and probably rightly so. Barnet kind of blew their chance in the first game as they led 2-1 at one stage, although they did show good heart to come back from 3-2 down.

The non-league club drew 3-3 again in the FA Trophy on Saturday, and they have actually won more games on the road than they have at home this term in the league.

Brentford have been in better form of late, but it is still just one clean sheet in six for them.
