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

Wrexham vs. Oldham (Sunday, 12.30pm)

National League clubs Wrexham and Oldham Athletic square off in the FA Cup first round on Sunday afternoon.

At a time when the home side sit just one point adrift of top spot in the fifth tier, the visitors are down in 19th position.

We say: Wrexham 4-1 Oldham Athletic

Having been sucked into a relegation battle, Oldham's priorities lie elsewhere right now. While Wrexham are also focused on league matters, a cup run is still desirable, and we feel that the home side will breeze past their opponents on Sunday.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Woking vs. Oxford Utd (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Oxford United will hope to give their season a boost on Sunday afternoon when they face Woking in the FA Cup first round.

At a time when the visitors occupy 17th position in the League One table, their hosts are in fifth place in the National League.

We say: Woking 0-2 Oxford United

Given their respective form, we expect this contest to be far more competitive than many may anticipate. Nevertheless, there is little doubting that the superior quality is in the ranks of the visitors, who we feel will battle their way to a hard-fought victory.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Curzon Ashton vs. Cambridge (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Curzon Ashton host League One club Cambridge United in the first round of the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon, with three divisions separating the sides in the English football pyramid.

The National League North club have battled through three rounds of qualification to get to this coveted stage of the competition, whereas Mark Bonner's men are kicking off their FA Cup campaign this weekend in Greater Manchester after a steady start in England's third tier.

We say: Curzon Ashton 1-3 Cambridge United

Curzon Ashton will be desperate to impress in what is one of the biggest games in the club's history on Sunday when Cambridge United come to town.

However, the hosts are not exactly setting the world alight in the sixth tier of English football and a comfortable away win is widely expected here for Bonner and his Cambridge team.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Torquay Utd vs. Derby (Sunday, 3.00pm)

Derby County will hope to find some form in the FA Cup first round on Sunday afternoon when they square off against non-league Torquay United.

At a time when the Rams currently occupy a spot outside of the League One playoff spots, Torquay sit bottom of the National League table.

We say: Torquay United 1-4 Derby County

While Derby have generally been poor in front of goal this season, that could change on Sunday. There will be times when Torquay will rally and play without pressure, but the Rams should ease to victory on the South coast.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
