Exeter City and Nottingham Forest will face off in the very last of the fourth round FA Cup matches on Tuesday. The two sides will clash at Exeter City’s St. James Park in what happens to be their first ever meeting. We have the prediction for this match below.
In a round that has claimed a number of upsets. Exeter City will also want to shock a Premier League team and make headlines.
To do that, there’s massive improvement needed, with the League One side on a three-game losing run. Exeter have actually gone winless in five matches, only drawing once in that run.
Nottingham Forest are coming into this game in red hot form and all expectations will be on them winning. They recovered superbly after the shock 5-0 loss in the league, needing little motivation to thump Brighton 7-0.
That marked their ninth win in 11 matches and their confidence levels will be high against a side that’s struggling. Save for the heavy defeat at Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest have done well away from home as well.
They posted four solid wins in the last five matches on the road, and in three of those wins, they kept clean sheets.
