Nottingham Forest vs Blackpool Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by Kennedy Kechula in FA Cup Predictions
Nottingham Forest will be at home to welcome Blackpool and begin their 2023/24 FA Cup campaign. This is the second successive season that these two teams have met in the third round of this tournament. Nottingham were thumped 4-1 by their son to be visitors in last season’s competition and they will be out for revenge. Their recent resurgence will have them confident of success. Forest, who have won two of the last three meetings with Blackpool, have won their last two games. This is the first time this season that they have won back-to-back games. The upturn in fortunes means, at this very moment, the coaching change was the right decision. Forest, who will have Nuno Espirito Santo take charge of his fourth match, have scored seven goals in their last three fixtures. Before the coaching change, they had scored only once in four outings. The Reds defeated Manchester United 2-1 last time out.
Blackpool have started this season’s tournament exceptionally well and with last season’s result over Forest, they will be confident of success here. Neil Critchley’s men who started their campaign in the first round, have scored five goals and are yet to concede. They defeated Forest Green Rovers 3-0 last time out. The Tangerines got back to winning ways last time out after two successive defeats and overpowered Lincoln City 2-0 at home. It was their 11th win in League One and kept them within striking distance of the playoff places.
