Bristol City Preview – Can the Robins make it two home wins in a row?
Bristol City finally picked up their first home league win of the season in their last match at Ashton Gate, edging past lowly Barnsley. Andreas Weimann netted both goals in the much-needed 2-1 victory over the Tykes.
Since then, however, the Robins have lost two away games, falling to defeats to Birmingham City and Coventry City. Nigel Pearson’s side head into this one having lost five of their previous six Championship fixtures. City are down in 18th place on 19 points after five wins, four draws and eight defeats.
Bristol City’s form has been dire of late, but they will be desperate to build on their first home win since January. The bookies have the Robins priced at 21/10 in this one.

Key Facts – Bristol City vs Blackburn Rovers Betting Tip
- Bristol City ended their long wait for a home win in their last one at Ashton Gate
- Blackburn have won three of their past four matches
- Rovers failed to score against the Robins last season
Both matches were tight and tense affairs last term, and we can see more of the same in this one. Both teams will want the points, but one goal could settle this either way. We fancy Blackburn to nick it at Ashton Gate, and there is excellent value in 3/1 for the away side to win by one goal.
Ben Brereton has been in superb form this season, with only Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic scoring more goals in the Championship. Back Brereton to open the scoring in this one at 4/1.
