Stockport vs Bolton Odds: Three Betting Tips for Wednesday's live FA Cup clash

After the drama of the International break we have a return to midweek domestic action and there are twelve FA Cup first round replays to get our teeth stuck into. BettingOdds’s own  @OddsTerrier has chosen the plum tie on Wednesday between two north west teams, Stockport County and his hometown team Bolton Wanderers to analyse. 

The initial encounter at the University of Bolton Stadium was a thrilling affair. Scott Quigley gave County an early lead after some poor defending from Wanderers, who then took charge of the tie after a quickfire brace from first Eoin Doyle and then Elias Kachunga. Ben Whitfield dragged Stockport level in first half injury time to cap off a remarkable half of football. The second half was a nervy affair with the prize of the second round on offer and the Hatters held firm in the latter stages to ensure a replay at Edgeley Park. 

Stockport took 5000 fans to the UniBol which was the largest travelling contingent in the country on the day and they’ll be hoping to double that number at home on Wednesday. Bolton have sold their 1900 away allocation so this one could be close to a sellout at the newly renovated ground. 

The Bookmakers make the League One team a slim favourite who are generally priced around 11/10. National League County can be had at 12/5 and the draw is available at 5/2. 

We’ve picked out two selections we can see happening and a longshot for all those of you who like something a bit more substantial. 

As always, please remember to gamble responsibly and bet within your means. Good Luck!

‘Dapo’ was the star man in the first leg having created the first for Doyle and then taking the saved shot which Kachunga followed up for the second. Afolayan is comfortably Bolton’s leading scorer this campaign with seven goals and with a potential late fitness test for Eoin Doyle, extra responsibility will fall on the 24-year-old’s broad shoulders. 

Sarcevic will be absolutely chomping at the bit to face his old side on Wednesday. Less than a month ago the 29-year old midfielder was the captain of the Trotters before sensationally switching to non-league County in a shock move that not many saw coming. 

“I can't wait, as simple as that - I can't wait!” - Antoni said in his latest pre match interview and i’m guessing neither can the 1900 strong travelling horde from Bolton who will be looking to get onto Sarcevic’s back throughout the match. 

Given the occasion and how fired up he will no doubt be, I'm backing Sarcevic to be shown a card within the 90 minutes at 3/1.

Anyone looking for a nice longshot can treble up the two selections above with Bolton to qualify for a tasty 14/1 shot at Bet365.
