In the 1/64 round of the FA Cup, there will be a match between Blackpool and Forest Green. The match will take place at Bloomfield Road Stadium on Tuesday, December 19. The game is scheduled to kick off at 20:45 Central European Time.
Blackpool
The team had a mixed start to the season but is still in contention for promotion. After 22 matches, Blackpool sits in eighth place in the English League 1 table. They are just four points behind the playoff zone, but their main competitors have played two games fewer. The real battle lies ahead, and in the previous round of the FA Cup, Blackpool comfortably dealt with Bromley.
Forest Green
Forest Green competes in the fourth-tier division of English football. The team is considered one of the main underdogs in League 2 and currently occupies the second-to-last position after 20 matches, only ahead of Sutton. They have scored the fewest goals among all the teams in the league but still have decent chances of remaining in the division with a significant number of games ahead.
Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
- Blackpool has won seven out of the last nine home matches.

Prediction
Blackpool is expected to advance to the next round. The team plays in a division higher than their next opponent and is rightfully considered the favorite. I'm betting on a home win with a -1 handicap.
