Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the FA Cup match.
These clubs last faced each other a long time ago, six years ago, also in the FA Cup. That match at Ashton Gate ended in favor of the Wolves (1:0).
Bristol City
After 26 rounds of the Championship, Bristol City sits comfortably in eighth place. They are just one victory away from the playoff zone, which is nearly their highest position of the season. As for the FA Cup, since that encounter with the Wolves in the fifth round, Bristol City have successfully navigated the Third Round three out of five times. In the last edition, they managed to beat another Premier League team, West Ham, at home (1:0).
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Changes have occurred not only at the managerial level. Under the new manager, Vitor Pereira, the team has acquired a powerful center-back from Reims, Emmanuel Agbadou. The announcement of the signing of the 27-year-old Ivorian came only this Thursday, but he could already make his debut for the new club on Saturday. He certainly won’t hurt the Wolves, especially after they conceded three goals in their last Premier League match (0:3).
Bristol City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction
It's true that Bristol City is not a third Premier League team like Nottingham Forest, who recently handed the Wolves a heavy defeat, but they do pose a threat: Liam Manning's team has not lost in four matches at their level, and all three of their wins have been clean sheets. Therefore, there is a high likelihood that the hosts will at least earn a draw.
