On January 7, Nottingham Forest and Blackpool will meet in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. The teams represent different divisions, but both have a chance to advance to the next stage of the competition.
Nottingham Forest
After a sensational 2-1 win over Manchester United, Nottingham Forest are determined to build on their success against weaker opponents.
Based on the results of 20 rounds played, Nottingham Forest ranks 15th in the elite of English football and is slightly ahead of the relegation zone.
In the last five matches, Nottingham Forest achieved two wins and three defeats, scoring almost 2 goals per game on average.
Blackpool
This modest team is also gaining momentum. The 2-0 victory over Lincoln City was the third in the last five matches for the representative of the country's third-strongest division.
In English League 1, Blackpool is now in eighth place in the standings and the team is close to getting into the coveted top 6 and competing for promotion to the Championship.
In their last five matches, Blackpool have lost twice and won three times, scoring an average of almost two goals per match.
History of the confrontation and prediction for the match
The history of meetings between these teams is quite productive. They scored 25 goals between them in the last five matches. Their meeting took place in 2014 and then Forest won with a score of 4:3.
We expect an open and vibrant match with plenty of scoring chances. Nottingham Forest have conceded in six matches in a row, while Blackpool have scored in almost every game. I would risk betting on the outcome that both teams will score.
