There is no League One team that is as strong at home as Blackpool. They are absolutely flying at Bloomfield Road, currently sitting top of the home table, and on an incredible run of form. Their last few home games read: 2-0, 2-1, 2-0, 3-1, 3-0, 3-0, 2-1 going back to a 2-1 defeat to Northampton in November, but even prior to that defeat they had 4-0, 3-2, 3-0 and 4-1 home wins in the bag in League One.

Blackpool are 4th in League One for xG created, albeit they are only 12th for shots on target. Their defensive work is good, but not outstanding, sitting 9th in the league for xG against, though they do have ten clean sheets in the league, the joint-third highest tally for shut-outs.

Forest are under new management in recent weeks so their seasonal data should be taken with a slight nod to that. Nuno Espirito Santo is a pragmatic manager, he is capable of putting together some good attacking play but is more at home organising a defensive structure and utilising the space in the opponents' half, when it is there.

However, it is worth mentioning that Forest have a relegation level of attack in the Premier League so far this season, but their defence has looked relatively solid, performing at a mid table level.

Blackpool may well be tempted into that trap when they are playing at home as they feel so confident. Forest dominated the shot count and territory in the first match, that probably won’t be as lop-sided as it will be here, there should be good chances for both sides as they can play their natural games.

Jordan Rhodes may feel to many like he has been around for a very long time, but he is having an Indian summer at Blackpool this season. Rhodes is well in the battle for League One’s top goalscorer with 15 league goals already and he is averaging over 3 shots per match.

It will be more difficult for Rhodes to get shots off against Forest, but he still is the most likely player to be on the end of Blackpool build-up and he is worth adding to a bet builder selection, especially at home.

We are looking outside of the obvious for the Reds. Morgan Gibbs-White may be the key threat for the Premier League side, but the prices are much better for a couple of his team-mates to get involved.

Nicolas Dominguez has made a good impression since arriving at Forest and scored an important header in the original tie. Indeed, he has popped up with a few crucial goals and is a threat from anywhere around the edge of the box, he looks much better value for this game.

Ryan Yates is the other Forest player worth a bet. The midfielder is always a threat from set pieces as well as in open play and whilst his shooting numbers this season are the lowest of his career, when he played EFL football his shooting numbers were much higher, which could be more relevant for this match.

There is some real value in the fouls markets for this match.

Gibbs-White is likely to be selected to be the main man to take the game to Blackpool. He is always a target for opposition defences as well though, he is Forest’s most fouled player this season so far and was a constant thorn in the side of Blackpool in the original tie as well, scoring a great goal to equalise at the City Ground.

Callum Connolly committed three fouls in the original tie and has Blackpool’s highest foul rate of the season so far. He is certainly one of the players who will be tasked with shutting Gibbs-White down, but he will also likely have battles with Dominguez and potentially the overlapping left back, potentially Harry Toffolo.

Jordan Rhodes is also worth a mention in this market. His harrying and closing down of players, as well as the way he uses his body in duels invariably leads to fouls being given against him, he leads Blackpool’s foul count by quite a distance at well over a foul per game (42 in 22).

Oliver Norburn has a good chance of picking up a card here. This is all or nothing now for Blackpool and bodies will be put on the line in the midfield battle.

Norburn has five yellows to his name already this season in 17 full matches, and has a decent foul count as well to show that it isn’t just a flash in the pan.

His teammate Callum Connolly may also be a good selection in the cards market. We have picked him out in the fouls market but with the idea of Morgan Gibbs-White operating in his area, and the fact that Connolly has six yellows from 14.4 sets of 90 minutes, there is a real and present danger there for the former Everton trainee.

On the other side of the battle Ryan Yates is never one to shy away. He only has three cautions to his name, but actually leads Forest in fouls this season so he is worth looking at in the cards market as well.
