Analysis Nottm Forest

The home team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (4th Round) after having eliminated Queens Park Rangers with a home win by (1‑0) in the previous round. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at their stadium.

Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Nottingham Forest is extremely motivated after 13 matches without a loss. In this match, they want to beat a Premier League team and in order to achieve it they should play offensively. At the front, Nélson Oliveira and O'Grady are the probable choices, with the firts being their best scorer with seven goals. Jokic, Pinillos and Assombalonga continue recovering from injuries.

Confirmed Lineup: Dorus De Vries, Eric Lichaj, Kelvin Wilson, Jack Hobbs, Chris Cohen, Gary Gardner, Oliver Burke, David Vaughan, Jorge Grant, Dexter Blackstock, Jamie Ward.
Coach: N. Simões Espírito Santo.

Analysis Watford

The away team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (4th Round) after a home win by (1‑0) against Newcastle United. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 13 conceded.

Watford is coming from a win against Newcastle but they are struggling to get good results lately: in the last six matches they have lost four times.

Apparently, Quique Flores has all his squad available to this important match.

Confirmed Lineup: Costel Pantilimon, Allan Nyom, Nathan Aké, Sebastian Prödl, Craig Cathcart, Ben Watson, Adlène Guédioura, Almen Abdi, Ikechi Anya, Nordin Amrabat.
