First Prediction for Bristol City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers – Wolverhampton Wanderers to win the tie – 17/25
Although the Premier League season has not gone to plan so far for Wolves, the appointment of Vitor Pereira has seen the side pick up results as of late. A crucial 3-0 win against Leicester City was followed by a win over Premier League giants Manchester United before they gained a point off of Tottenham Hotspur. However, despite this, it is still no secret that the side are well and truly in a relegation scrap, even at the half-way point of the season. Bristol City are a side on good form, but the gulf in quality from the Premier League to the Championship is currently harder and more prominent than ever. Therefore, it is likely that despite Wolves’ poor season, they will win this clash.
Second Prediction for Bristol City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers – Both teams to score – 53/100
Both Bristol City and Wolves have a poor defensive record this season. The Robins have conceded 30 goals in 26 Championship games this season and have a 1.15 goals per match average when it comes to conceding goals per game. However, they have a good goalscoring record, scoring seven goals in their last five games and 33 in 26 throughout the season. The away side have an even worse defensive record, conceding 45 goals in 20 Premier League games this season, averaging 2.25 goals conceded per match. They haven’t scored as many as their opponents, however they have played six less games, scoring 31 goals. With both sides strong record in front of goal, as well as the poor defensive records, it will be no surprise if both sides score.
Third Prediction for Bristol City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers – Anis Mehmeti to score at any time – 5/2
Bristol City’s Albanian winger Anis Mehmeti is City’s top-scorer in the Championship by four goals. With their strikers not firing on all cylinders, Mehmeti has stepped up this season and is the club’s leading goal contributor, with 10 combined goals and assists. The 23-year-old is having his best season goal and assist wise since his last season in League One with Wycombe Wanderers. In his last three games he’s scored three goals, including a brace against Portsmouth. With the Albanian on such great form this season and recently, he’ll be looking to add to his tally against Premier League opposition.

Full Preview of the Game – Last Results and Head-To-Head
As previously mentioned, both sides come into this one in good form. Bristol City have only lost once in their last five matches, winning three of those four remaining matches. Wolves have picked up form recently and have both won and lost two games a piece in their last five. Despite still being firmly in a relegation battle, the arrival of Pereira has seen a significant upturn in results.
Both sides will believe they can progress to the fourth round of the FA Cup. However, with the Wanderers the side in the top flight of English football, anything other than a win for them will be considered a cup upset.
These sides have met 11 times in various competitions since 2012, including in the FA Cup fifth round in 2018/19. The hosts have only won two of these 11 clashes, with the result going Wolves’ way eight times. It has only ended level once between these two sides.
