Bristol City vs. Nottingham Forest Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Bristol City vs. Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest is set to journey to Ashton Gate for a clash with Bristol City, marking one of the four FA Cup fourth-round ties on Friday night.

In the third round, Liam Manning’s squad achieved a notable feat by being the sole lower-league club to eliminate a Premier League side, overcoming West Ham United in a replay at this very venue.

Tommy Conway emerged as Bristol City’s hero, securing their place in the fourth round with an early strike in the replay last Tuesday.

Conway had previously scored the goal at the London Stadium that led to the replay, and now the Robins are gearing up to host another Premier League side at Ashton Gate.

Despite this significant victory, Bristol City’s recent form shows room for improvement, with just one win in their last six games. A 1-1 draw against Watford over the weekend added to a tally of two points from their last four league matches. Currently positioned 13th, six points behind the playoffs, Bristol City shifts their focus to the FA Cup this weekend, aiming to replicate last season’s achievement of reaching the fifth round.

What to remember – Bristol City vs. Nottingham Forest

Forest’s potential limitations in attacking options might pose a challenge for them to assert dominance in what promises to be an intriguing cup tie against Bristol City.

Additionally, the visitors’ 12-game streak without a clean sheet suggests Bristol City could find opportunities to create chances. However, replicating the individual inspiration displayed against West Ham may be crucial for the Robins to capitalize on these opportunities.
