7th Jan 2017 | FA Cup
Fleetwood Back
Fleetwood are unbeaten in two months while Bristol City have lost six on the bounce. The bookies don't care.
Given the difference confidence makes in football it’s hard to make sense of the odds for the FA Cup 3rd round clash between Bristol City and Fleetwood.
The Championship side have lost six consecutive games sliding them from the top half of the table to within three points of the drop zone. They shouldn’t be odds-on to win any game right now.
In contrast, Fleetwood are somehow a best price 9/2 with BetVictor despite an 11-game unbeaten run across all competitions which has seen them enter the play-off positions in League One.
There isn’t much between the sides in terms of the league ladder yet it’s like night and day in terms of form. We have to back the upset at these prices.
