Blackpool vs Forest Green Predictions


League One Blackpool should be confident of securing their place in the next round of the FA Cup on Tuesday. I'm taking a home win with over 1.5 goals as my NAP at Bloomfield Road.

  • Blackpool have won 7 of their last 9 home matches
  • Blackpool have scored 2+ goals in 8 of their last 9 home matches
  • Forest Green have lost 5 of their last 8 away matches
  • Forest Green have conceded 2+ goals in 6 of their last 8 away matches

Head to Head


Tuesday´s FA Cup clash is the first-ever match between Blackpool and Forest Green.

Blackpool Form


Blackpool come into Tuesday's FA Cup tie after a frustrating 2-1 defeat at Cambridge United on Saturday. Despite Jordan Rhodes' early strike, the Seasiders slipped to their seventh League One loss of the season. 

Neil Critchley's side have enjoyed a strong run of form prior to their weekend setback, with five victories in their previous six matches. At Bloomfield Road, Blackpool have been equally solid, scoring ten wins and just three defeats from 15 games across all competitions this season. 

Blackpool Team News


Blackpool emerged unscathed from Saturday's defeat at Cambridge United. Head coach Critchley is likely to freshen up his selection but is unable to call on Oliver Norburn, who remains suspended. 

Forest Green Form


Forest Green's League Two struggles continued on Saturday after a 2-0 defeat at MK Dons. The Green Devils have lost three of their last four and find themselves in the relegation zone, five points short of safety.

Away from home, David Horseman's side have lost five of their last eight, conceding two goals or more in all five defeats. 

Forest Green secured their place in Tuesday´s FA Cup 2nd round tie with a 4-2 win at National League side Scarborough last week.

Forest Green Team News


Rovers boss Horseman has no new injury issues after Saturday's setback at MK Dons. Veteran forward Troy Deeney could drop to the bench, with Callum Morton expected to come into the Forest Green attack. 

Verdict

Blackpool will surely prove too strong for a Forest Green side that has struggled in recent away matches.

I'm backing the Seasiders to win and score at least two goals against a road-sick opponent.
