Wrexham vs Nottingham Forest

Wrexham vs Nottingham Forest Tip

Nottingham Forest to Win

Nottingham Forest’s top-flight quality should tell in this FA Cup tie despite Wrexham’s impressive momentum.

Forest are a Premier League side facing Championship opposition and, even in a difficult league campaign, they have shown signs of recovery by ending a four-game losing run with a crucial 2-1 win over West Ham last time out.

Wrexham may be ninth in the Championship with just six defeats from 26 games, but this represents a significant step up in class, particularly against a Forest side that finished seventh in the Premier League last season with 65 points.

With greater depth, physicality and proven Premier League match-winners, Forest are well placed to control the game and assert their quality over 90 minutes, making an away win the most likely outcome.

Preston vs Wigan

Preston North End vs Wigan Tips

Preston North End to Win

Preston North End look well placed to justify favouritism against League One opposition.

The Lilywhites sit fourth in the Championship with 43 points from 26 games and arrive on the back of consecutive league wins, underlining their strong current form. Wigan, by contrast, are 15th in League One with just 30 points from 24 matches and have struggled for consistency all season, sitting closer to the relegation zone than the playoffs.

Preston also hold the historical edge, unbeaten against the Latics since April 2019 and winning three of the last four meetings.

With a clear step up in division, stronger recent form and a solid head-to-head record, Preston have the profile of a side capable of controlling this tie and progressing comfortably to the fourth round.

MK Dons vs Oxford

MK Dons vs Oxford United Tips

Oxford United to Win

Despite their struggles in the Championship, Oxford United still hold several key edges that point towards an away win.

The U’s are a second-tier side facing League Two opposition, a significant jump in overall quality and physicality, even with Oxford sitting 23rd in the table.

MK Dons may be fifth in League Two, but they are only two points inside the automatic promotion places and have drawn their last game, underlining a lack of momentum. Oxford have also had extra recovery time after their weekend fixture was postponed, while MK Dons have already been pushed through two FA Cup rounds.

With superior Championship-level experience, stronger individual quality and a chance to reset under interim management, Oxford are well placed to edge a competitive tie and progress to the fourth round.
