Bristol City take on the visitors Manchester City at “Ashton Gate Stadium” in the semi-final match of the Carabao Cup. The game will be played in Bristol on Tuesday, January 23rd.
Bristol City have paved a long way to the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup. In the previous three rounds of the tournament the team beat Watford, Stoke City and Manchester United. At this moment Bristol City occupy the fourth place in the Championship table, fighting for promotion to the Premier League. The club’s attack is doing great, having scored 40 goals while its defense has some problems as it has conceded 32 goals. The team managed to gain 13 wins in 28 clashes played within the Championship in this season, having taken 48 points. In the latest encounters conducted at “Ashton Gate Stadium” the upcoming hosts have been broken by Norwich and Wolves with the same 1:2 scoreline and beat Reading 2:0.

In their turn, Manchester City are the sole leader of the Premier League standings. “The Citizens” passed over West Bromwich, Wolves and Leicester City on the previous stages of the Carabao Cup. The side participated in 23 battles within the Premier League, having managed to earn 62 points in them. The team has tremendously powerful offense which has scored 67 goals already while its defense also stays tough with only 17 goals conceded. In the recent away fights Manchester City have been beaten 3:4 by Liverpool, gained 0:0 draw against Crystal Palace and upset Newcastle Utd. 1:0.
The first-leg game was finished in 2:1 victory deserved by Manchester City. It is most likely that “The Citizens” will promote to the final which will terminate Bristol City’s fairy-tale in this season’s tournament. However, I believe that the hosts will show decent play and will manage to escape from being thrashed in face of their supporters.
Prediction for the match: Bristol City to win with +2.0 Asian handicap.
