Cheltenham vs Manchester City England – FA Cup Date: Saturday, 23 January 2021 Kick-off at 17:30 UK/ 18:30 CET Venue: Whaddon Road (Cheltenham).
The League Two contenders have been winless for the past nine clashes across all major competitions in their schedule. And their 2-1 win at home against Mansfield in the previous FA Cup fixture came with a breakthrough in the extra time of that game. Their last five matches have ended in a draw showing a shaky defense in the middle.
Such a troubled defensive line will be an open invitation for a team like Manchester City. Amidst their run for securing the top spot in the Premier League, it will be interesting to see their approach to the FA Cup encounter. They are on a nine-game winning streak in their overall schedule, including a 3-0 win at home against Birmingham in the last FA Cup clash.

Cheltenham vs Manchester City Prediction
It is not unlikely to expect another clean sheet win for the Manchester Blues in the upcoming match in the FA Cup schedule too. They haven’t conceded a goal in the last five fixtures across all major competitions and are not likely to concede against a League Two side in the middle.
The host enjoys the ground advantage, but it will not come to use against a top tier team sitting at the second spot on the PL table as it stands. The tight competition at PL has improved the away team’s form overall. Thus, the away win is the most likely outcome for the upcoming match.
Since the odds are low for an expected result, the tip for Manchester City to win with a -2 handicap will probably be the best bet for the punters. We can expect a 0-3 win for the City and hence, the tip for no BTTS will also come in handy in the encounter to yield decent returns.
