The current season is a very successful on for Bristol City, in fact. Their great results let them stay among the favorites of the English Football League Championship on the third place in the table. Before the upcoming match Bristol are in really good conditions and the victory against Nottingham Forrest 2:1 in the latest match was the fourth one in a row for them.

The teams haven’t played against each other in the new history at all. Both teams are among the favorites of their leagues and yet the levels of the English Premier League and the Football League Championship are really different. Considering the distance to the first place Manchester United have, we think that Mourinho will try to win the League Cup. We think that the visitors are very likely to win in the upcoming match with a convincing score.
