Blackpool vs Nottingham Forest 16.01.2024 Prediction: FA Cup

Match Overview

Bloomfield Road will play host to a fascinating game between Blackpool and Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup on Tuesday. While there is a gulf in class between these two teams when it comes to the leagues in which they ply their trade, the FA Cup is known to bring out upsets, and we can expect one here as well. Nottingham Forest cannot afford to be complacent. 

Key Highlights 

There have been a total of twelve games recorded between these two teams in the past. While Blackpool have been victorious on two occasions, Nottingham Forest have won four games. The rest of the six matches were played out as drawn encounters between the two teams in the past. This means that both these teams have had a good share of the spoils in the past.  

Injury Report

Taiwo Awoniyi of Nottingham Forest is the only player among both teams to be ruled out with an injury in this game. Blackpool do not have any absentees at all, and this will allow them to select their best possible starting lineup.

Prediction

Neither Blackpool nor Nottingham Forest appear to be the overwhelming favourites to win this game. It is quite a challenge to call, and we expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. While Blackpool have been unbeaten in the last six matches that they have played at home, Nottingham Forest have not kept a clean sheet in the last ten matches that they have played.
