Bristol City v Manchester City Betting Tips [28 February 2023]

Championship side Bristol City will be at home to take on Premier League giants Manchester City in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Tuesday. Bristol aren’t really at a good place in their league and will welcome this break. They come into this game unbeaten in 12 matches and this run, they will hope, drives them to a win over City. Bristol have six wins in their last 10 matches but their biggest quality as they face City, will be the ability to carve out chances and goals. They haven't kept many clean sheets in recent matches and this is an area of improvement, having conceded in seven of their last 10 matches. Both sides have scored in four of Bristol’s last five matches and they have four wins in the last six home matches. They’ve kept three clean sheets in the last four matches

Manchester City returned to winning ways in their last game, beating Bournemouth 4-1. This will seem like an easier task for the Premier League title contenders but they have returned some shocking outcomes at some points in the season. City’s major weak point has been their defence; they rarely keep clean sheets. However, they rarely fail to score too. They come into this game having scored three or more goals in three of their last five matches, while both sides have scored in all of the last five games. City have lost three times in their last seven away matches, but will be unfazed going into this game; their defeats haven't come in any of the last four away matches.

Manchester City are definitely the favorites here and we do not expect them to fall to Bristol, even though Bristol have been in good form. Both sides have good attacks but defensively they have left questions. Our prediction for the Bristol City v Manchester City game is a win for Manchester City and both teams to score.
