The first game of the FA Cup fourth round take places on Friday night, as Bristol City host Bolton at Ashton Gate.
Bristol City heads into this game on the back of a five-game winning running in all competitions. City are also unbeaten in their last 11 competitive matches, so head into this clash in high spirits. Last time out, Lee Johnson’s team recorded a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest.
The Robins recent matches have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals conceded in six of their last seven games in all competitions.
They may be on a good run of form, but the home side has a poor recent record in the FA Cup, winning just two of their last eight games in the competition.
City’s recent form in the FA Cup at home has been inconsistent. However, a 1-0 win over Huddersfield in the third round of the competition ended a three-match winless in the FA Cup at Ashton Gate. Their recent home games in the competition have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in the last seven matches.
Bolton recent form has been poor, as the Trotters have lost three of their last four matches in all competitions. In fact, the Wanderers have won just two of their last 19 games in all competitions. One of those two wins came in a 5-2 win over Walsall in the third round of this competition.
Poor defensive displays have been one of the causes of the Wanderers recent poor results, as the visitors have conceded at least two goals in their last four outings in all competitions.
The Wanderers poor recent away record has not helped their cause either, as they have failed to win in their last 12 matches on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Bristol City will record a narrow victory in a high scoring clash.
