West Ham vs Bristol City Prediction
West Ham Form
West Ham look well suited to take on any opponent presently, as their last 3 matches saw them gain 7 points. They ran out 2-0 and 0-2 against Manchester United and Arsenal respectively. Their winning streak came to an end against Brighton, who claimed a point in a 0-0 draw. It has been a bit hit-and-miss for West Ham but at least mostly hit, as they put four wins on the board in their previous six FA Cup matches. They didn't draw any matches, but lost twice, scoring nine goals while conceding six.
Bristol City Form
Judging by their last three matches, we can expect a bit of everything from Bristol City at the moment. Against Watford, they came out on top in a 1-4 win, before drawing 0-0 against Birmingham. Most recently they were left reeling in a 0-1 defeat win against Millwall. Bristol City claimed two wins against zero draws and four defeats in their last six away matches in the FA Cup. The scoreline from these matches reads eight goals conceded and five scored.
West Ham are aiming for a win this coming Sunday, but they could settle for containing their opponent Bristol City instead of chasing a high-scoring win.
