Fulham vs Bristol City Prediction

Fulham have shown their powers of recovery this season, with Marco Silva's side twice coming from behind to snatch a point with late goals in consecutive 1-1 draws in the EPL. They were the underdogs in both games but enter this tie as the favorites.

Bristol City have also drawn each of their last two league games. They got here with a routine win over League Two opposition but face significantly superior opposition here.
