How are the two teams form?

Nottingham Forest took an impressing win against West Ham in the third round of the FA Cup and are currently fifth in the Championship. The Tricky Trees are unbeaten in ten matches before the Preston meeting. Preston North End won 3-2 against Ipswich in the FA Cup and are currently fourth in League One after playing a draw in their last match.

What are the probable line ups?

Forest are without Kevin Wilson, Chris Cohen, Dexter Blackstock, Eric Lichaj and Jack Hobbs due to injuries. For Preston, Kevin Davies is out with a ban.

What to expect from this match?

After Forest humiliated West Ham last round there are great expectations to the Reds. Playing against Preston from the league under them makes them favorites and I expect them to dominate in this match. That said, in cup football you can never be sure and Preston will not lay down and let Forest run them over. Preston will be careful not to take to many risks from the start of the match, but they cannot let Nottingham take control of the match. Four of the last ten matches have been won with a 2-1 score and Forest have won five of last ten matches. There is no doubt in my mind, the Tricky Trees wins this match.

What are the odds?

A Nottingham Forest win will give back 4/5 at betway while a Preston win will give an amazing 5 times the money back with bet365.
