Friday's FA Cup predictions including Sheffield Wednesday vs. Morecambe

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's FA Cup fixtures, including Sheffield Wednesday vs. Morecambe.

Sheffield Wednesday and Morecambe will get the FA Cup first round underway on Friday, when they square off at Hillsborough.

The two sides have already met in league action this season, with Friday's hosts scoring a 3-0 away victory in League One in September.

We say: Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 Morecambe


Even with the Owls likely to rotate their squad, we cannot envisage any result other than a dominant home triumph on Friday with Moore having more than enough talent at his disposal to see them through to the second round.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Hereford FC, the phoenix club of Hereford United, welcome Portsmouth to a sold-out Edgar Street on Friday for a first round FA Cup tie.

The TV cameras will be there to see the biggest opponents to come to this part of the world since they reformed in 2014.

We say: Hereford United 0-3 Portsmouth


While the fairytale will be on the forefront of everyone's minds, this is one of the biggest mismatches in the first round when looking at league placings, and Hereford may come unstuck against opposition of such higher quality.

Portsmouth should return to a largely strong starting XI after making multiple changes for the EFL Trophy tie in midweek.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
