Bristol City Preview – Will the Robins keep up fine home run?
Nigel Pearson’s Bristol City have struggled with consistency all season long. The Robins have won seven, drawn six and lost nine of their opening 22 Championship matches. They find themselves down in 18th on 27 points.
Bristol City head into this home fixture having won two of their last four, with both of those victories coming at home. They waited an extremely long time for a win at Ashton Gate, but City have won three of their previous four home fixtures, seeing off Barnsley, Stoke City and Derby County.
Nigel Pearson and his troops will be desperate to keep their fine home run going, but this will be a tricky test. The bookies are offering 7/4 for a Bristol City win.
Huddersfield Town Preview – Can the Terriers pick up first win in five?
Carlos Corberan’s Huddersfield Town have been one of the surprise packages in the Championship this season. They were tipped for a year of struggle before a ball was kicked in anger, but the Terriers have been knocking on the door of the play-offs.
Since an impressive 1-0 home win over West Bromwich Albion on 20th November, Huddersfield are winless in four. However, after two losses, Town have drawn two on the spin, drawing with Barnsley and Coventry City.
