Exeter vs Nottingham Forest prediction
Exeter are winless in their four previous encounters against Forest drawing twice and losing twice.
But unsurprisingly this is their first time facing them since 1951!
Forest are unbeaten in their last two FA Cup away games yet lost eight in a row prior to this run.
The Premier League outfit are going far beyond their highest expectations so far this season sitting prominently in third.
Forest just won 7-0 against Brighton and have had ample time to rest and recover from that run-out which saw them overturn a surprise 5-0 loss the week before against Bournemouth.
They’re constantly surprising football fans this year and it will be interesting to see what kind of squad they put out here, but it will likely be one that’s too tough for Exeter to overcome.
Exeter vs Nottingham Forest betting tip
The League One outfit have only reached the FA Cup fifth round three times before and two of those came in the 1930’s.
The most recent of which was in 1980/81 so they will be desperate to see a recent FA Cup run to support.
But Exeter sit down in 18th in League One with four losses in the last five outings in the league – looking unlikely to come up with a surprise victory.
Forest will surely put on a prominent display here and make it tough for Exeter to prevent them from going forward.
- Nottingham Forest to win, over 2 goals and Chris Wood to score – 11/8 on Bet365
