The FA Cup Second Round sees 11 Non-League teams looking to make it to the third round. In this article, we look at three stand out bets involving non league teams.
One of two battles between Step Two sides see Chelmsford host Weston Super Mare.
The Clarets are looking to reach the third round for the first time since the 1970s and beat bitter rivals Braintree 4-1 in the first round in front of a packed out Dunmow Group Community Stadium.
Angelo Harrop's side have struggled in the league, losing three on the bounce and find themselves in 15th, despite strong financial backing in the summer.
Weston Super Mare sit 12 places and 12 points ahead of their hosts, despite losing manager Scott Bartlett to National League side Eastleigh.
The Seagulls are playing in the second round for just the second time and will be looking to make history in reaching the third round. When the sides met earlier this season, it ended in a 0-0 stalemate.
The EFL Talisman now finds himself in the National League South after prolific spells at AFC Wimbledon, Charlton and Colchester in particular. Taylor has seven goals in 896 minutes this season, including a brace in the last round so is tempting odds to score again.
Cheltenham, engulfed in a relegation battle in League Two, face a Buxton side still affected by last years playoff defeat. The Bucks sit in the bottom half of the table, well below expectations. However, John McGrath's side are just four points off the playoffs so will be looking to climb the table.
The Derbyshire side have reached the FA Cup third round on one prior occasion in 1951, so a packed Silverlands Stadium awaits to see if they can repeat these heroics. The first round saw them edge past Isthmian Premier Division side Chatham.
With the form of the visitors and the league gap, Cheltenham should ease past Buxton. However, the visitors have seen BTTS in 15/19 league games, scoring in all bar the 3-0 loss at Bedford.
While Sutton are unlikely to repeat their heroics from 2017, losing to Arsenal in the Fifth Round, or even when they defeated Coventry to reach the Fourth Round in 1989, but the U's are in fine form and will be looking to shock League Two Shrewsbury.
Since Agutter has come in, Sutton have lost just once in eight league games, scoring 18 goals in the process. Excluding his first game against Braintree, BTTS and overs has landed in 11/12 - only failing in the 2-0 win over Halifax - a game in which The Shayman missed a penalty.
Shrewsbury have seen a League Two high of 7/9 away games see over 2.5 goals. while they also saw BTTS overs as they overcame National League North side South Shields to reach the Second Round. It should be a close encounter that both teams believe they can win.
