Bristol City Preview – Can the Robins keep up fine form?
Bristol City had an abysmal end to the 2020-21 season, and they started this campaign with two defeats from their opening four. However, since a 1-0 home reverse to Swansea City in August, Nigel Pearson’s men have shown a big improvement.
Bristol City go into this one having lost only one of their past seven in the Championship. During that run, they have seen off the likes of Cardiff City, Queens Park Rangers and Peterborough United. They also held Fulham to a draw at Ashton Gate last month.
Despite their upswing in fortunes, Bristol City are still searching for their first home win since January. At Ashton Gate this term, Pearson’s side have drawn four and lost one of five. Will their woeful home run come to an end at the weekend?
Bournemouth Preview – Cherries to maintain unbeaten record?
Scott Parker has made a sensational start to life at Bournemouth. After 11 games played, the Cherries are top of the table and are the only team left in the Championship with an unbeaten record.
So far, Bournemouth have picked up seven wins and four draws and are three points clear at the summit of the second-tier table with 25 points to their name. They have been in stunning form of late, winning five and drawing one of their past six in the Championship.
