Best draws: Tranmere v Gillingham, Wycombe v Lincoln, Morecambe v Salford, Aldershot v Barrow, Hartlepool v Woking.

Six aways: Blackpool, Forest Green, Exeter, Dover, Stockport, Eastleigh.

Ten homes: Fleetwood, Colchester, Mansfield, Newport, Plymouth, Bromley, Halifax, Maidenhead, England, Iceland.

Pick of the draws: Gillingham won their first League One fixture of the season last Saturday by thrashing Bolton 5-0 at home. That result should give them the confidence to gain a point at Tranmere, who are struggling to adapt to a higher division. Lincoln, who are second in League One, are aiming for three consecutive promotions and returned to winning ways against Fleetwood last weekend. I fancy them to get something at high-flying Wycombe, despite the Buckinghamshire club's 100% home record. Although Salford, in League Two, have gone off the boil after an encouraging start to the season, they won't fear a trip to Morecambe, who are terribly vulnerable at home. The meeting between Aldershot and Barrow, two sides near the foot of the National League, suggests deadlock while Hartlepool, after two consecutive away victories, could deny second-placed Woking.

Away days: Blackpool, unbeaten after six matches in League One, are worth a wager at Coventry, especially as the game is being played at Birmingham's St Andrew's ground. I believe that Forest Green's 2-0 home loss against Newport last Saturday was only a temporary setback and I'm backing them to win their League Two clash at Cambridge. Leaders Exeter have a very long journey to Carlisle but I'm tipping them to return home with three points. In the National League, Dover are recommended at Boreham Wood, mainly because the hosts are so poor at home, and fast-improving Stockport should see off bottom club Chorley. Eastleigh will be confident of defeating Ebbsfleet, who seem destined for a relegation struggle.

Homes sweet homes: Colchester, boosted by two wins in a row in League Two, are fancied to make it a hat-trick against lowly Walsall. Halifax are the surprise leaders of the National League and have high hopes of maintaining their perfect home record when relegated Yeovil come visiting. Although Maidenhead's high position owes much to their away form, I'm tipping them to do the business at home against Dagenham & Redbridge.

Pools info: Bolton v Bury (No 1 on coupon) is void. Portsmouth v Southend (6), Rochdale v Ipswich (7), Shrewsbury v Peterborough (8), Sunderland v Burton (9), Fylde v Barnet (29) and Solihull v Wrexham (33) will be judged by the pools panel.
