Head-to-Head
In their seven previous encounters, West Ham and Bristol City share two wins each, along with three draws. West Ham eliminated Bristol City from the FA Cup in 2015 with a 1-0 victory at Ashton Gate.

Team Analysis
Entering the third round clash at the London Stadium, West Ham aims to continue their recent positive form against Bristol City in the FA Cup. The Hammers, displaying superior quality, anticipate a comfortable victory over the Championship side on Sunday. West Ham's confidence is buoyed by their recent 0-0 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion in a Premier League fixture, where they showcased defensive solidity amidst several Seagull attacks. Unbeaten in five of their last six matches across all competitions, West Ham secured four wins during this period. This impressive run is anchored by a robust defense, resulting in five clean sheets. The London Stadium proves a fortress for West Ham, as they are unbeaten in their last eight matches at home, garnering six wins and maintaining clean sheets in the last four under the guidance of manager David Moyes.

Bristol City suffered a setback with a 1-0 defeat against Millwall in their recent Championship fixture on New Year's Day. Despite a laborious performance, they conceded the decisive goal in the 92nd minute, leaving them winless and goalless in their last two matches. Manager Liam Manning, however, remains relatively optimistic, considering Bristol City's overall form with just one defeat in their last five matches, securing three wins in that stretch. On the road, Bristol City faces challenges, having garnered only one win from their last eight away matches and suffering four defeats in that span.

Odds Analysis
West Ham, with three wins to nil in their last four home matches, appears poised for a similar outcome. Their offensive prowess suggests the potential for multiple goals, making them a favorable choice in the -1 handicap market.
