[FA Cup] There is little doubt that Nottingham Forest will win and progress in this match.

Sensational Nottingham Forest is entering a crucial part of the season, with upcoming tough matches against Fulham, Newcastle, Arsenal, and Manchester City. Given this, it's clear that Forest will field a reserve squad for the FA Cup match against League One’s Exeter City.

In their last 11 matches, Nottingham Forest has been in impressive form, with 9 wins and only 1 draw. The only setback came in a surprising 0-5 defeat away to Bournemouth. However, Nuno Espírito Santo’s team responded strongly to this blow, smashing Brighton 7-0 in the following Premier League match, proving that the loss was just a rare slip-up and not a sign of a decline.

Exeter is going through difficult times in League One, showing poor results. In their last five matches, the team has lost four times, conceding 15 goals — a worrying stat for their defense. Though they are currently seven points above the relegation zone, the fight to stay in the league remains the team's top priority. In this context, progressing through to the next round of the FA Cup against Nottingham Forest would be a fairytale outcome.
