West Ham vs Bristol City – Preview, and Prediction
West Ham vs Bristol City – West Ham United will play Championship outfit Bristol City in the FA Cup third round at London Stadium on Sunday, two weeks after losing 1-5 at Anfield in the League Cup quarterfinal.
Following their previously mentioned League Cup loss, West Ham triumphed twice in the Premier League, defeating teams like Manchester United and Arsenal 2-0.
David Moyes, the head coach of the Hammers, may be happy with his team’s defensive line improvements, as they have kept their net empty in five of the last six games in all competitions.
Konstantinos Mavropanos and Angelop Ogbonna played well as center-backs in their past two matches against Brighton and Arsenal, replacing Kurt Zouma and Naif Aguerd.
We expect the Hammers to maintain their defensive silence on Sunday as well, given that Bristol City has been playing less efficiently lately.
In their last two championship matches against Millwall and Birmingham City, the Robins managed just one point between them.
They dropped to eleventh in the league standings and are now four points behind Sunderland in the race for a postseason spot.
West Ham vs Bristol City – Betting Analysis
Exactly nine years ago, West Ham defeated Bristol City 1-0 at Ashton Gate in the FA Cup fourth-round match between these two teams.
In their seven head-to-head meetings, the teams have split their two victories historically. None of the preceding three head-to-head encounters saw three or more goals scored.
Since West Ham is the primary betting choice with odds of 2.10, we’ll choose them to win by two or more goals differential because Bristol City hasn’t looked fantastic in their last few games.
