Bristol City vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting tips
Bristol City and Manchester City will play the return match on Tuesday-evening for a place in the final of the League Cup. Manchester City narrowly managed to win Bristol City at its own Etihad Stadium, so at Bristol City they secretly have a little hope for a stunt.
Bristol City :
Bristol City had a good time two weeks ago to visit Manchester City. At the Etihad stage, Lee Johnson’s team took a 0-1 lead in the first half by a utilized penalty from Bobby Reid. However, Kevin de Bruyne made the 1-1 at the beginning of the second half on behalf of The Citizens and until the absolute final phase it also appeared that the game would end in a 1-1 draw. Johnson saw his team in the 90th minute, however, the 2-1 cash and so the starting position of Bristol City this week a lot less than was hoped by The Robins.
At Bristol City they had the hope that after the narrow defeat against Manchester City a number of better results would be achieved in the Championship, but for now that has not been successful. In the weekend after the 2-1 loss on a visit to Manchester City, Bristol City lost 0-1 to Norwich City and last Friday The Robins did not go further than a goalless draw to visit Derby County. Yet they will not have been dissatisfied at Bristol with a draw at the iPro Stadium, as Derby is second in the Championship and this season lost three home matches in the league.
Regardless of the result Tuesday night, the supporters of Bristol City will be satisfied with what their team has achieved in the League Cup. The chances are of course that the adventure in the League Cup will come to an end this week and then The Robins will be able to focus on a play-off place in the Championship in the remaining games of the season, as it no longer seems possible for Bristol City. to become champion or to finish in second place.
Manchester City :
At Manchester City they were able to claim their rights on Saturday-evening after the 4-3 loss of last weekend against Liverpool. Pep Guardiola’s team completely lost to Liverpool, so Manchester City had to show on Saturday that the loss against Liverpool was only an incident. Newcastle United visited The Citizens and Sergio Agüero knew two seasons ago, when City won 6-1 vs. Newcastle, made five goals in the Etihad Stadium against Newcastle United and the Argentine was fully responsible for the 3-1 victory on Saturday from Manchester City to visitors from Newcastle. Agüero made all three goals on behalf of Manchester City and the Argentinian striker was seven times accurate in his last five games.
Manchester City is of course still at the top of the Premier League and despite losing Manchester United and Chelsea last weekend, they will be satisfied with The Citizens over the last round of play. The Guardiola team still has twelve points ahead of Manchester United and champion Chelsea is fifteen points behind Manchester City, so a new championship comes closer to the week for The Citizens.
The generous lead also ensures that Manchester City has been able to focus on the FA Cup and the League Cup in recent weeks. In a few weeks, the Champions League will start again and that, of course, together with the Premier League has the highest priotity at The Citizens, but Guardiola is also already one leg in the final of the League Cup and the Spanish coach has substitutes who also must be able to get far in the FA Cup. The first match between Manchester City and Bristol City took Guardiola quite seriously and it is expected that the Spaniard will also start with a solid team in the return.
