TAIWO AWONIYI - TO SCORE ANYTIME - 23/20 (UNIBET) - 1PT

---

You could excuse Nottingham Forest for not having the FA Cup in the forefront of their mind given they're embroiled in a Champions League race. However, the advantage of playing their Fourth Round fixture last is that they've been able to watch Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool all exit the competition, opening the door for someone outside of the traditional 'Big Six' sides to get their hands on the trophy. They travel to the West Country to face League One Exeter City who have seen their form derailed since the turn of the year, only winning one match - their 3-1 victory over Oxford United in the last round.

This presents an opportunity for Nuno to rotate his side here with a trip to Fulham in the Premier League just four days away. It's almost certain that Taiwo Awoniyi will come into the side in place of top goalscorer Chris Wood, and I am keen to get the Nigerian striker onside here. He has found minutes hard to come by since joining Forest in 2022, with him only playing 3,170 minutes in that time. He has managed seventeen goals in that spell and against an Exeter side who have shipped thirteen goals in their last three matches, I can see Awoniyi taking full advantage. Given the chances of this one getting away from the Grecians quickly, I'd anticipate Awoniyi getting the full 90 minutes, and the 23/20 on offer for him to get on the scoresheet looks good.
