Bournemouth Preview – Can the Cherries stop a run of three successive stalemates?
Jason Tindall has made an unbeaten start to his managerial career at Bournemouth, guiding the club to three wins and four draws from seven Championship games. The Cherries started exceptionally well, winning three and drawing one of their opening four.
However, since picking up a 3-1 victory over Coventry City at St Andrew’s Trillion Trophy Stadium before the international break, Bournemouth have been held to three consecutive draws. They drew 0-0 at home with Queens Park Rangers before back-to-back 1-1 away draws at Cardiff City and Watford.
Bournemouth have been very hard to beat under Tindall. In fact, only Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City have come out on top against the Cherries this season (Carabao Cup). However, after three draws on the spin, Bournemouth will be eager to get back to winning ways on Wednesday. The bookies have the home win priced at 4/5.
Bristol City Preview – Can Holden’s troops return to winning ways in midweek?
Dean Holden’s Bristol City made a stunning start to their Championship season. Along with current leaders Reading, the Robins won each of their opening four league matches, seeing off Coventry, Stoke City, Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest.
Since that 2-1 victory at the City Ground, though, City have gone three games without victory. They dropped points for the first time in a 2-2 draw at Barnsley, which was followed up with a 1-0 home loss to Middlesbrough. Then last weekend, Bristol City drew 1-1 with Swansea City at Ashton Gate.
