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.

Why Cotterill was sacked

In the end, it was very sudden.  In a season where pressure has increasingly grown on Steve Cotterill for all sorts of reasons, an unknown combination of a lacklustre, exhausted-looking performance at home to Preston, an unsavoury altercation with an abusive ‘supporter’ at the end of that game, or perhaps a behind-the-scenes disagreement over transfer policy look to have ultimately curtailed his time at Ashton Gate. No manager these days can win just four out of 28 games in a season, be in the bottom three, and expect to be impervious to the threat of being sacked. But given such an incredulous level of success last season, Cotterill was surely closer than most to having a level of credit in the bank to be given until the end of the season? I share views with many as a general principle where I wish all clubs would give mangers more time to build, but the days of giving a manager the luxury of years of under-achievement, of the type Alex Ferguson enjoyed, resulting in a ...

The Inside Line: MK Dons (substituted) 24/08/2013

This new series on The Exiled Robin threatened to come a cropper in its early days with a fixture against Franchise FC, as I wasn't prepared to seek an opinion on a club created in such a fashion.  Not that I doubt that those supporters who follow them do so in the same irrational and desperate manner we all do with our clubs, but the way they came about, with the corresponding direct negative impact on another community-based club, manes they are - ironically enough - disenfranchised from the football community as a whole.  Anyway, as a result I decided to instead focus on their predecessors, a club reborn and one that has found it's way back into the football league for a second time. Chris Lines, (NOT the ex-Gas player, as far as I know!) writes his own blog and occasionally offers his view for the fabulous Two Unfortunates, as well as spending his weekends following the fortunes of AFC Wimbledon.

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...
