Bristol v Man City Cup Prediction – Preview
Bristol City F.C.
Bristol City are looking to win their first ever FA Cup, with their best finish being a runner up in the 1908/09 edition. They made it to the last 16 by thrashing fellow Championship side West Bromwich Albion 3-0 at Ashton Gate in January. Sam Bell scored a first half brace for the Robins, while Alex Scott added another netter to the scoreline, also in the first period. The Nigel Pearson-led side, who currenly seat 15th in the League Championship table, recently drew Sunderland 1-1 at the Stadium of Light. Nakhi Wells shot from the spot in stoppage time levelled against Jack Clarke‘s earlier goal for the Black Cats. As they now face their biggest challenge against one of the best teams in the world, could they be capable of creating a miracle?
Manchester City F.C.
Manchester City are aiming to win the FA Cup for the 7th time, and their first after four years. They booked their ticket to the last 16 by beating Premier League title rivals Arsenal 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium in January. Backup keeper Stefan Ortega had a stellar performance, as he kept Takehiro Tomiyasu and Leandro Trossard from netting in the first period. The hosts then improved vastly after the break, as Jack Grealish set up Nathan Ake from the rebound, curling the shot into the bottom corner. The Pep Guardiola-led side have had struggles in form as of late, as they picked up back-to-back draw courtesy of Nottingham Forest (1-1) in the EPL, and RB Leipzig (also 1-1) in the UCL. Can they show up with their winning form as they visit the lowly Robins in their next tie?

Bristol v Man City FA Cup Prediction – Final Thoughts
Man City have struggled to win their last matches, but the 5th round tie with Bristol gives them the perfect opportunity to change all that. Even with home support pouring in for the Robins, the Citizens are simply a level above their opponents when they come to play. Guardiola may also opt for a leaner lineup, which is enough to get the Mancunians through to the semi-finals via a comfortable margin. Let’s now take a look at our prediction.
