Treble chance: AFC Wimbledon v Scunthorpe, Bradford City v Rochdale, Exeter v Walsall, Luton v Northampton, Oldham v Burton, Preston v Southend, Colwyn Bay v Gainsborough, Morton v Dundee, Ross v Falkirk, Dumbarton v East Fife.
Best draws: AFC Wimbledon v Scunthorpe, Luton v Northampton, Oldham v Burton, Ross v Falkirk, Dumbarton v East Fife.
Aways: Rotherham, Crawley, Colchester, Yeovil, Aldershot.
Homes: Brentford, Chesterfield, Dagenham & Redbridge, MK Dons, Notts County, Southport, Swindon, Solihull Moors, Raith.
Pick of the draws: League One Scunthorpe have only one away win this season and they will be hard-pushed to add to it when they visit the well-supported League Two side AFC Wimbledon in the FA Cup first round. There were signs, in their narrow defeat at Gillingham last weekend, that Northampton are starting to find some form and they should be capable of taking Blue Square Premier promotion contenders Luton to a replay. Burton are doing well in League Two and won't be intimidated by a trip to League One Oldham, who have been erratic. Ross lead the Scottish first division but don't be surprised if they are held at home by Falkirk, who are just behind them. In the Scottish second division I'm taking East Fife to gain their first away draw at Dumbarton, who struggle at home.
Away draws: League Two Rotherham have picked up lately and I expect them to maintain their improvement at Barrow, who sit mid-table in the Blue Square Premier. Crawley, who lie second in League Two, have won three of their last four away and are worth a punt at League One Bury. I cannot see League One Colchester failing at League Two Crewe, whose recent results have been wretched. Although Yeovil are bottom of League One, they can win away for the first time this season against League Two strugglers Hereford. Aldershot's best results have come on the road and they will surely move into the FA Cup second round at the expense of Blue Square South Maidenhead.
Homes sweet homes: Southport have climbed into the play-off places in the Blue Square Premier on the back of some notable results and look a fair bet against Barnet, who are fighting relegation from League Two. Huddersfield's 42-match unbeaten run could be ended by Swindon, who are thriving in League Two under the managership of former West Ham favourite Paolo Di Canio. Bishop's Stortford are poor travellers in the Blue Square North and Solihull Moors look likely to add to their misery. In Scotland, Raith are fancied to send Ayr to the bottom of the first division.
