Macclesfield dropped the bomb in the previous round

Macclesfield became famous for delivering one of the biggest surprises in the history of the tournament in the previous round. They eliminated Crystal Palace 2-1 at home, and now they host another Premier League team, dreaming of another feat. They are currently in the sixth tier of English football, sitting in seventh place in their league. Over 2.5 goals were scored in the last nine matches of Macclesfield, eight of which also had goals at both ends.

Brentford should not underestimate the situation, knowing what happened with Crystal Palace at this stadium, despite the rotations that are expected. Recently, Brentford has been making progress in the Premier League and has been impressing with their performances lately. They have also won five of their last six away matches, one of which was indeed in the FA Cup, with a 2-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday.

Prediction: victory for Brentford and over 2.5 goals

I don't think Macclesfield will drop a second bomb in a row. Furthermore, Brentford should have learned their lessons and not repeat Crystal Palace's mistakes, and they have been performing very well in the Premier League lately.

      Brentford in the last couple of matches haven't been performance quite well, regardless facing this home team shouldn't be a problem.. Take this as a redemption match. Brentford to win and more than 3 goals to be scored in this matchup. Pure dominance ,I personally adding this matchup to favourite.
