Brentford Preview – Bees to keep on charging in positive form
It is a three-match winning streak that Brentford are currently on in the league, making them one of the big form teams.
In midweek they got a superb home success over Bournemouth to keep their form going.
But their overall form extends further than that, as they have gone undefeated in their last 15 league fixtures.
So it has been superb stuff from them and they are the 4/6 favourites to get another win on Saturday* (odds recorded 00:35 GMT Friday, 31st December).
Brentford are W5 D5 L1 this season at Griffin Park and they have won their last two there.
Home and away combined Brentford have been scoring nicely and freely recently. They have netted at least two goals in six of their last eight.
In each of their home wins, this season Brentford have netted at least the two goals.
They have tallied a clean sheet in 36% of their home games for this current campaign.
Across their home form this season, there has been a trend with Brentford having been level in 7 of their 11 home fixtures.
With that in mind a Draw/Brentford half time/full-time football betting option is at 10/3* (odds recorded 00:35 GMT Friday, 31st December).
They have opened the scoring in 7 of 11 home fixtures this season and are currently undefeated in nine games at Griffin Park.
Of the eleven goals that they have shipped on home soil, eight of them have gone against them in the second period of matches.
With everything put together, they look a very good option to bag the three points that are on offer.
Bristol City Preview – Can the struggling Robins avoid defeat?
Adding to the equation is Bristol City’s lack of form recently because the robins have been struggling.
Bristol City have lost four of their last five games and five of their last seven in the Championship.
In midweek they paid a visit to Luton and suffered a 2-1 loss there.
The last time Bristol City managed to win back to back games was in late November.
The only two successes that they have recorded in the league in their last seven games have happened at Ashton Gate.
Bristol City are on a three-match losing streak on their travels, scoring just the once in that sequence of games.
So it has been a bit of a rough ride for them recently. They have lost their two away games played this season against teams currently in the top six.
The odds on Bristol City pulling off an upset win in this fixture is at 4/1* (odds recorded 00:35 GMT Friday, 31st December).
One positive for them is that they have avoided defeat in their last three trips to Griffin Park.
