Shipshape And Bristol Fashion
No team across the continent is on better form than this Championship side. Throw in home advantage and Wolves' lower standards in R4 at Shrewsbury and we could have an upset here.
When you’re offered best odds of 18/5 with Betfred on Europe’s form team winning for a 10th time in a row, take it! That’s the situation presented to us in the early kick-off in the FA Cup on Sunday.
Bristol City are absolutely flying at the moment and will have that rare sense of invincibility that can only come with a 15-match unbeaten run in all competitions.
This is not to say that Wolves should be disrespected as a fine Premier Leaque outfit. We’ve sung their praises many times, but there is a question mark around consistency, with many of their best performances seemingly saved for top calibre opposition.
The Molineux side made heavy weather of Shrewsbury in Round 4, to say the least. They trailed 2-0 in the first match with 15 minutes to go, then 2-1 even in the home replay.
They got themselves out of jail but a currently ruthless Bristol City may not allow that if they get their noses in front.
