Our prediction for the match Exeter vs Nottingham Forest
“The Greeks” have recently been able to gain a foothold in the third division of the English football. For instance, the previous season they brought 13th place – almost in the middle of the table. “The Foresters” were deprived of several points for violating the rules of financial fair play, but the club managed to finish in the “saving” 17th position due to the invitation of Nuno Espirito Santo last winter.
Now the Portuguese specialist and his team are creating a sensation in the Premier League. The club demonstrates the best statistics in decades, winning the lion’s share of matches. At the same time, there are also misfires, among which one should emphasize a 0-5 failure in the struggle with Bournemouth. However, the team thrashed Brighton immediately after that – 7-0. Caldwell’s footballers, on the contrary, lose almost every second match, especially in recent weeks, including a 2-6 result in the game against Leyton Orient and a 1-4 score in the confrontation with Stevenage, which was held in the previous round.
The hosts have already overcome 3 rounds in the cup. First they dealt with Barnet and Chesterfield. And they beat Oxford United with a 3-1 result with a double scored by Mitchell in January (once again playing at the home arena). The guests started from the stage of 1/32, where they confidently, 2-0, beat Luton Town.
