Repetitive match between Forrest Green and Oxford for the first round of the English Cup. In the first match 0-0 at Oxford headquarters.
Forrest Green is coming off a defeat in the last league match for League 2 in the home match against Morkham. She was better throughout the match but could not score on the opportunities she made and the ball punished her as the visitors just before the end scored the goal and took the victory. Second defeat in a row in the championship that kept it in 10th place in the standings with 27 points.
Oxford achieved a great 1-1 home victory over Gillingham on Saturday for the League 0 championship and managed to climb above the relegation zone after a while. Moderate match with a few phases for both teams, with the hosts scoring with a well-aimed penalty kick in the second half and it was enough to get the three-pointer. It was the 8th consecutive match that remained undefeated with 4 wins and 4 draws, certifying its good condition lately.
In the first match it did not seem that the two teams are separated by a category and with 0-0 it leaves the qualification open. The hosts due to the home have the lead but also the guests have a good streak and look in better condition. They both want to qualify, after all no team in England can be indifferent to the oldest tournament and I think they will go for the victory. I will bet on goals and OVER 2,5.
