Boreham Wood vs Notts County Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Preview

It’s the FA Cup first round  and Boreham Wood will face a Notts County side who have been performing much better than expected in League Two. We are backing the side from the Football League to come away with the win and are backing Notts County to book their place in the second round at 5/4 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think there will be something for everyone but County’s superior quality should eventually tell with a 2-1 win, this is available at 8/1 with the same site.

County were expected to have a season of struggle and were not expected to challenge at the top of League Two but almost a third of the season in and they are proving all their critics wrong and currently sit in the play-off places. They have a great history in the FA Cup too and they will hope to draw inspiration from the 1894 Notts County that actually won the famous trophy.

Going all the way may be a step too far for County this year but any progress will have to come on the back of breaching one of the strongest defences in non-league football. Boreham Wood have conceded just 14 times from their 18 league games this season and they will know that if they are to upset the odds then this will likely play a key part.

It will be an interesting match up as even though there is a league between the sides their approaches are completely different. The home side have a good defensive record and are fairly strong at home while the visitors are stronger in attack and seem to get their best results on the road.
