Wrexham Double Chance (Win or Draw)

Reason for tip

Wrexham have had the best part of a week to prepare for this FA Cup clash and a giant-killing could be in the offing as they face a struggling Nottingham Forest side who were in Premier League action on Tuesday evening. Sean Dyche is likely to ring the changes to his Forest side and that could leave them vulnerable to the fired-up and in-form Red Dragons.

Wrexham 2-1

Reason for tip

Wrexham have scored 11 goals across their last four matches and the Red Dragons will be roared on by a hostile crowd baying for Premier League blood at the Racecourse Ground. Forest may be jaded having played just three days earlier and the home side could make the most of their extra energy having not been in action since Sunday.

Fired-up Red Dragons set to land a cup shock

Wrexham have dominated plenty of headlines in recent years thanks mainly to their Hollywood owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, and there could be another blockbuster in the offing for the Welsh side this weekend.

The Red Dragons will be looking to create another epic tale when they host Premier League side Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup third round on Friday and a giant-killing can’t be ruled out with Wrexham looking the bet on the win or draw double chance market.

The pair have met only three times, with the most recent coming way back in 1993, but all three fixtures were lively encounters and this latest head-to-head should be no different, with Wrexham in fine form and Forest fighting for their lives at the bottom of the top flight.

The Red Dragons have won each of their last four league matches and they have been banging in the goals along the way, scoring at least twice in five of their last six outings.

Phil Parkinson’s side have had the best part of a week to prepare for this clash while they get a week off after this fixture, so they can give this cup showdown their full focus.

Forest, meanwhile, ground out a 2-1 win at fellow Premier League strugglers West Ham United on Tuesday evening to snap a four-match losing streak and avoiding the drop will remain the priority for boss Sean Dyche.

The Tricky Trees are 17th, seven points clear of the top-flight danger zone, but the short turnaround and the need to pick up league points is likely to see Dyche rotate his side for this encounter.

That could leave the Premier League side vulnerable, so a Wrexham or draw double chance wager looks the best course of action at a decent price, with a 2-1 home win the predicted outcome for correct-score punters.
