Wrexham head into this FA Cup last-64 tie in excellent spirits after four straight wins, including a superb 2-1 Championship victory over Derby. Therefore, we predict that they are going to hold Premier League side Nottingham Forest to a 2-2 draw in Saturday's clash. The Dragons have been especially strong at home, averaging 3.80 goals per game at the Racecourse Ground and scoring in every home match this season. Their 80% BTTS rate at home highlights both their attacking ambition and defensive vulnerability, though the lack of new injuries provides welcome continuity.
Nottingham Forest finally put an end to their negative run in the Premier League with a 2-1 win over West Ham, but their form still reads LLLLW, and they remain without Sangare, Ndoye, Yates, and John Victor. Forest’s away numbers underline their inconsistency: 1.50 points per game, a 50% win rate, yet just 1.00 goal scored on average. They concede regularly too, posting a BTTS rate of 50% away from home.
Taking everything into account, a lively atmosphere and contrasting momentum could produce a tight but energetic cup clash. Therefore, Over 2.5 goals and BTTS markets (Wrexham 80% BTTS at home, Forest 50% away) seem appealing.
This FA Cup match will be played on Friday 9 January 2026 at 19:30.
