Macclesfield v Chelmsford Odds: Back a double result in the second round replay betting

Macclesfield take on part-timers Chelmsford in their live FA Cup second round replay at the Moss Rose Stadium on Wednesday night. The pair played out a 1-1 draw in the first match but Macclesfield are 10/11 favourites this week, while Chelmsford are as short as 3/1 to cause an upset according to Ladbrokes.

Chelmsford had threatened an upset in the first match as they led 1-0 before Macclesfield forced an equaliser and a replay. With home advantage, Macclesfield are 4/9 odds on favourites to qualify for the third round, where Bolton lie in wait, while Chelmsford are 13/8 to qualify.

The match of course has the potential to go to extra time and penalties, with Macclesfield 8/1 to win after extra time and Chelmsford are 16/1 in the same market and 12/1 to win on penalties. However, we fancy League Two outfit Macclesfield to get the job done in normal time, although they might have to wait to get the goals they need against a decent Blue Square South side.

The fact Chelmsford are part-timers could see them tire late on in the game and the second half is currently evens to be the highest scoring half of the match. For a bit more value it could be worth a punt on Macclesfield scoring more goals in the second half than the first at odds of 11/8 with Ladbrokes.

Furthermore, the double result of a half time draw and full time Macclesfield win can be backed at 7/2 and that looks very tempting.

Macclesfield are currently thirteenth in League Two, although they have lost just one of their last five matches. Their last six at home have involved under 2.5 goals and under 2.5 could be worth a punt at 5/6 with Ladbrokes.com this week.

The concern for the home side is the fact that top scorer Ben Tomlinson is out injured, Ross Draper is suspended and Michael Thomas and Jack Lane are cup-tied. It's tough to see where the goals are going to come from and George Donnelly, who has scored just four goals this season, is the 5/1 favourite to score first.

Blue Square South outfit Chelmsford have shared the goals around this season and the likeliest goal threat could come from Kezie Ibe, who is 8/1 to be first scorer with Ladbrokes.

They are flying high in fourth in the Blue Square South league after recently setting a club record of 19 matches unbeaten and they are unbeaten in thirteen in the league. They lost 5-2 to Bath City in the FA Trophy at the weekend but they could be forgiven for having their minds on this week's tie.

We fancy Macclesfield's greater fitness and a touch of extra quality should see them safely avoid an upset though and the correct score of 2-0 to the home side can be backed at 6/1.
