BLACKPOOL v NOTTINGHAM FOREST – Click here to bet
These sides played to a thrilling 2-2 draw at Nottingham in the first fixture with all 4 goals scored in the first 56 minutes. Blackpool led 2-1 at the break, but Nottingham equalised in the 56th minute to set up the replay.
Blackpool were involved in Rounds 1 and 2 of the FA Cup beating Bromley 2-0 on the road and Forest Green 3-0 at home for a spot in the 3rd Round. They currently sit 8th in League 1 and are undefeated in their last 4 matches across all competitions.
Nottingham haven’t played since the 3rd Round clash with Blackpool and prior to that they had won 2 in a row in the League and they currently sit 15th in the EPL.
Notts Forest are the 10/11 favourites, but looking at their recent matches and also the previous encounter I think goals could be the way to go here.
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 15/20 (If you want a bigger price over 3.5 goals is trading at 18/10)

BRISTOL ROVERS v NORWICH – Click here to bet
These sides played to a 1-1 draw at Norwich a week and a half ago with Norwich taking the lead in the 12th minute only for Bristol Rovers to equalise in the 17th and there was no further score in the game.
Bristol Rovers currently sit 11th in League 1 and they have lost their last two league matches.
Norwich also sit 11th, but in the Championship they beat Hull away in the League on the weekend to break a 4 match run without a victory across all competitions.
Both teams have found the back of the net in the last 12 Bristol Rovers matches, however, 8/15 is too short for me to have a single bet on. Although Norwich failed to do the business at home they do come into this game with their tails up after their away at Hull and I am backing them to book their spot in the 4th Round.
Suggested Bet: Norwich win at 29/20
EVERTON v CRYSTAL PALACE – Click here to bet
These sides played to a goalless draw at Crystal Palace setting up this all English Premier League replay.
Everton have now gone 6 matches across all competitions since their last victory and on the weekend they played to a goalless draw at home to Aston Villa. Everton sit 17th in the English Premier League with Crystal Palace, 3 positions and 4 points above them. Palace have not played since the goalless draw at Everton, but they have only won 1 of their last 10 matches across all competitions.
Everton are 19/20 to win the match in regulation time with the draw 5/2 and Palace 3/1.
Head-to-head clashes between these sides tend to be goalless or very high scoring. I am going to take a punt on the latter.
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 21/20
