Bristol City v Manchester City betting tips

Ross’ debut on The Exiled Robin started with an agonising (but very fortunate for us) loss as his Derby to win to nil recommended best bet didn’t come in thanks to the wrong decision not to give Derby a late penalty for a foul by Aden Flint on Cameron Jerome. He did however, point out that Derby have the best home defence in the league and ushered you in the direction of a home clean sheet at 17/10. Over to Ross for the betting preview of our Carabao Cup semi-final second leg on Tuesday night…

Bristol City head into this tie on the back of a gutting late 2-1 defeat at The Etihad in the first leg. The Robins were on a five-match losing streak heading into the match with Derby on Friday, so Lee Johnson was delighted to end that unwanted streak ahead of this massive fixture. Annoying for me is the ruling that away goals count AFTER extra-time, so if the game does go to 120 minutes, Man City will have that long to secure an away goal which will count double, whilst Bristol City only had 90. 

MATCH ODDS

Premier League leaders Man City are a best price of 1/4 to win this fixture, making them huge favourites. They disposed of Newcastle 3-1 last time out with familiar ease and Argentinian superstar Sergio Aguero netted a hat-trick. 

The Cityzens are still in with a shout of securing a historic quadruple this season under Pep Guardiola and with a tie against Cardiff the following weekend rather than Liverpool as it was in the first leg, I expect him to name a stronger side than he did then.

The draw is available at 11/2 with Man City drawing just four of their 35 matches this season. Of course, Bristol City were seconds away from securing such a result at The Etihad before Aguero headed home.

The Robins have been made even bigger outsiders at 14/1. A far bigger price than the 9/2 winning bet I got on The Robins to beat their Manchester rivals in the quarter-final! 

KEY STATS

Both previous League Cup ties between these two sides finishing 2-1 to Man City. That correct score is available at 9/1 for those interested!

Man City striker Sergio Aguero has now scored seven goals in his last five games with the Liverpool away loss the only match he hasn’t netted in during that sequence. With Gabriel Jesus out injured he is the only real out an out striker at their disposal, although Raheem Sterling filled that role in the first leg. He is a best price 11/4 to score first or you can get odds on 8/13 that he scores anytime.

Bristol City have only scored two goals in their last six matches and whilst we saw the return of Famara Diedhiou on Friday night, it will be a while until we see our record signing at his best as he returns to full fitness. With Man City keeping eight clean sheets in 17 away games so far, many may fancy the 21/20 available on Man City to win to nil.

However, a caveat to that would be that Bristol City have scored in every one of their Carabao Cup games this season and in fact historically scored in 21 of their 24 fixtures against Man City, including never once failing to net at home against them! Both teams to score is 11/1.

For the hopeless romantics, there is faith to be had in the fact that Man City have actually now won just three of their last seven AWAY matches in 90 minutes. Bristol City have been made 7/2 to secure a double chance victory – to either win or draw in 90 minutes at Ashton Gate this Tuesday night.

RECOMMENDED BEST BET

The potential losses of both Frank Fielding and Nathan Baker are going to hit us hard in my opinion and if Man City name a stronger side than in the first leg as expected, I see a fast start by the away side as they look to put the tie to bed early. For those reasons, I am backing Man City to be ahead after 15 minutes with a best price of 29/10.

Ten days is a long time in football...the new era is dawning

The last couple of weeks has been quite a period in Bristol City’s long history. It’s been chaotic, troublesome and concerning. There’s been anger and abuse (more on that later), antipathy and arguments. And, as is the way with football, things tend to move very quickly. There is now more than a murmur of excitement (not quite full-blown, mind) and significant nodding of approval at the choice made by the club this week. In between all of this City won a game of football, albeit against a team bottom of the league playing with ten men for most of the match. But they won, and got three points and moved back into the top half of the table. Underperforming and not where the club wants to be…? Margins are fine, that’s for certain. So, what has been learned, with the announcement of Liam Manning as Head Coach on Tuesday and what myths do need to be busted? Firstly, the club communications are like Jekyll & Hyde. The engagement pieces, insight videos and some of the fun nonsense

Bright Knight of the City

  The lesser-spotted blog post... The string of summer signings has inspired the first post in a year, with a focus on new £2m(ish) signing, Jason Knight. He has been likened by some to Korey Smith, his former team-mate at Pride Park, whilst his high-energy approach has been praised widely. To get the real lowdown I spoke to avid Rams fan, Cory Hancock , of top Derby pod Ram's Review .                                                    Picture from Bristol City www.bcfc.co.uk  Tell us about Jason Knight. What type of player are we getting? An energy player who will run all game long. Knight’s engine is second-to-none. He will run hard for the team and do the work of two players. That’s not to say he runs around like a headless chicken, but he will go box-to-box for 90 minutes. He’s also a solid and consistent performer who rarely lets the side down. He’s played a few different positions, I think most expect him to be straying centrally for us as one of two holding midfielders. Woul

Bristol City: Our Greatest Team to the Ashton Gate Eight

Back in 2014, I was invited by the Two Unfortunates website to write about Bristol City's greatest team. It was a story which, of course, ended ultimately in the story of the Ashton Gate 8. Since the site of the original post has long since gone, here it is republished in full. "Eight players with more than 80 years at the club and more than 2,000 appearances between them, cast aside as unwilling saviours" Sometimes, events occur that make you realise your true standing in life. When the emotional mask of expectation is removed and those rose-tinted spectacles are lowered onto the brow of the nose, you can realise that things aren’t quite all they seem. And so it was for me, a lifelong Bristol City fan, when I was asked to talk about our greatest ever team. For when it came down to it, there was only one real choice. One genuinely great team that I could write about even in the perspective-bending world of football and this was one I hadn’t even had the privilege of seein
