Before Betting On Blackpool vs Nottingham Forest
Competitive action in the FA Cup is set for Wednesday, as Nottingham Forest look to eliminate League One Blackpool at the second attempt. The two sides played out a thrilling first match in the third round of the competition, with Forest coming back from 2-0 down to salvage a replay.
However, Blackpool will be confident of springing the upset this week, as they claimed a dominant 4-1 victory over their rivals at this exact stage last season. But, Forest have scored at least once in each of their last eleven trips to Blackpool across all competition. However, they have also conceded at least once in their last nine victors.
Blackpool have a solid record against top-flight opposition in the competition, as they have progressed from two of their last four ties. That is a huge improvement to their record, having been eliminated by top-flight opposition in each of their last eleven ties before the start of that sequence.
Forest will also be looking for better in a replay, as they have lost their previous two in the FA Cup. Both of their defeats were also suffered away from home over that period, with their most recent defeat coming at Leicester in 2011-12. Blackpool will also be looking to make some history on Wednesday, as they bid to reach the fourth round in successive seasons for the first time since 1971.
