Match Facts
This is the first ever meeting in any competition between Blackpool and Forest Green Rovers.
Since they joined the EFL, Forest Green have been eliminated from all three of their FA Cup ties against teams from a higher division.
Blackpool haven’t lost a home match in the FA Cup against a team from a lower division than them since December 2000, when they lost to Yeovil. They are unbeaten in 12 home games since (W10 D2), winning the last five in a row.
The winner of this match will meet Premier League side Nottingham Forest in the third round – Blackpool beat Forest 4-1 in that round of the competition last season.
