Bristol City vs West Ham prediction and odds ahead FA Cup replay

It is far from the ideal situation for West Ham United to find themselves in an FA Cup replay — especially as it eats into their winter break — as they head off to the west coast to face Championship side Bristol City. The previous tie finish 1-1 thanks to Tommy Conway keeping the Robins in the competition with a home tie to either Nottingham Forest or Blackpool in the fourth round.

The Irons are the favourites ahead of their trip to Ashton Gate at 5/6 with Betfred while hosts Bristol City 16/5 and a draw after 90 minutes is 13/5. The Hammers are unbeaten in their last 12 meetings against Bristol City with their last defeat happening in February 1978.

Despite taking an early lead thanks to Jarrod Bowen, West Ham missed out on plenty of opportunities to put the game to bed and allowed Bristol City to equalise and set up a replay. However, the Irons are still on decent form and currently sit sixth in the Premier League table while the hosts have suffered back-to-back league defeats and sit on the bottom half of the Championship table.

Tomas Soucek to score anytime — 18/5

West Ham to win and both teams to score — 11/4
