Bristol City vs Portsmouth Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by James | in FA Cup Predictions
Bristol City welcome Portsmouth to Ashton Gate on Sunday for a third-round tie in the FA Cup. A broadcast of the game will be available to fans for free on The FA's website. This fixture is a cross-divisional match. Bristol are tenth in the Championship, while Portsmouth are third in League One. Portsmouth's glory days are long gone, but the FA Cup is a reminder for fans of what a fun time it was. Pompey won the trophy in 2008 with a team that featured Sol Campbell, Sulley Muntari, and goalscorer Nwankwo Kanu. The chances of promotion to the second tier look promising for Portsmouth, who come into this game in tremendous form. They are unbeaten in five matches in all competitions, winning four and keeping a clean sheet in all five. Going on the road won't be daunting as they have won their last three away games with clean sheets. In the FA Cup, they won six of their previous seven away matches.
Meanwhile, Bristol are in the midst of a rotten run of form that has seen them lose four of their last five matches. They have won three of their last six home matches in all competitions. Home brings no comfort in the Cup for Bristol - they have failed to win five of their previous seven home FA Cup games. The two clubs have not met in competitive action since 2012 when they played out a goalless draw. The clash before that was also goalless. Given Pompey's defensive record, we suggest backing fewer than 2.5 goals in this game.
