The Grecians set for a clash against the Garibaldis in the FA Cup.

Exeter City are ready to host Nottingham Forest in their upcoming FA Cup 2024-25 fourth-round clash. The Grecians defeated Oxford United in their third-round match to qualify. They did well and secured an easy win. The Garibaldis on the other hand secured an easy win over Luton Town in their previous game.

The EFL League One side Exeter City are not having a very good season. They are residing in the 18th spot in their league table after having won nine matches in 29 games. The Grecians will be at home which will give them some confidence but the pressure will be high as they are set to battle the in-form Nottingham Forest.

The Garibaldis are doing very well and are just nine points away from the Premier League table toppers Liverpool. Nottingham Forest will be coming in confident because of their current run of form. They dominated Brighton in their previous fixture but were also thrashed by Bournemouth a match prior. They will have to be more consistent to continue with a good form.

Players to Watch

Josh Magennis (Exeter City)

The Irishman has been on fire for Exeter City in the three FA Cup matches this season. Josh Magennis has scored four goals in those three matches in the oldest club cup competition in the world. He is going to play an important role for his side when they go up against the Garibaldis. Magennis can help his team create some chances in the opponent’s defence.

Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest)

Chris Wood is coming in after scoring a hat-trick in Nottingham Forest’s dominating display over Brighton in their previous game. Coming into the FA Cup encounter, the New Zealand international will be confident and we can expect a goal or two from his side. He can lead his side to an easy win by leading his side’s in-form attack.
