Accrington Stanley are ninth in League Two and have yet to lose at home this season, while Wycombe Wanderers sit 13th in League One and come in as slight favourites.

Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson sees a tight tie between a home-unbeaten Accrington Stanley and higher-division Wycombe Wanderers, backing goals at both ends and Wycombe’s top scorer to find the net.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Jayden Wareham to score anytime | 5/4 (Sky Bet) | Jayden Wareham is Wycombe’s top scorer with six League One goals and has started each of their last three games. Wycombe have scored in every one of their 13 league matches, and Accrington, though unbeaten at home, have conceded eight goals in seven games at the Store First Stadium and kept only two clean sheets there. With Wareham leading the line for a side that always finds a way to score, 5/4 looks a fair price. |
| Draw and both teams to score | 7/2 (Paddy Power) | Both of these sides draw games for fun, Accrington Stanley seven times in 14 and Wycombe Wanderers six in 13, and that points to a tight, even contest. Accrington are unbeaten at home, while Wycombe have scored in every league match, so both teams finding the net in a stalemate is a live outcome. At 7/2, the draw with both teams to score is well worth backing for a tie that could need extra time or penalties. |

How Accrington Stanley go into the game
Accrington Stanley go into the FA Cup first round ninth in League Two on 19 points from 14 games. Their biggest strength is their home form: they are unbeaten at the Store First Stadium this season, winning three and drawing four of seven, and that draw-heavy streak runs through the whole campaign, with the points shared seven times in 14 games.
Form coming in is solid if unspectacular. The last time out was a 1-1 home draw with Northampton Town, following an eye-catching 5-0 win at Rochdale and a 1-1 draw at York City. A 3-1 home win over Gillingham and a 0-0 draw at Oldham Athletic complete an unbeaten last five of two wins and three draws. Accrington Stanley have kept four clean sheets and failed to score only three times.
How Wycombe Wanderers go into the game
Wycombe Wanderers arrive as the higher-division side but have found this season harder going, sitting 13th in League One on 18 points from 13 games. Four wins, six draws and three defeats tell of a team that draws a lot, and a goal difference of minus two, 21 scored and 23 conceded, shows they can be leaky. On the road they have been decent, with two wins, three draws and a single defeat from six away games.
Wycombe Wanderers come in on the back of a 2-0 home win over Burton Albion, their most recent result. Before that came away draws at AFC Wimbledon (1-1) and Cambridge United (2-2), a 2-0 home win over Notts County and a 4-1 home defeat to Luton Town. One thing is certain in front of goal: Wycombe Wanderers have scored in every league game this season.

These sides have not met since February 2023, when they were both in League One, and Wycombe Wanderers have the better of the recent record. Wycombe won the last two meetings, 2-0 at Accrington and 1-0 at home, and also edged a 2-1 home win in 2021. Accrington Stanley’s one win in the last four came in a 3-2 home thriller in February 2022. The meetings are a few years old now, with the clubs in different divisions since.
