Bristol City Preview – Will the Robins return to winning ways on home soil?
It has been another long Championship campaign for Nigel Pearson’s Bristol City. They have been in the bottom half all year but have never looked like going down. The Bristol club will be in the second tier again next term, as City are 15 points clear of the bottom three.
Bristol City recently picked up four straight home league wins, but Pearson’s troops have failed to win in their last three at Ashton Gate. After poor defeats to Coventry City and Birmingham City, the Robins did draw 2-2 with West Bromwich Albion in their last home match.
Bristol City have been on a bad run of late, losing five of their past seven and taking just four points from a possible 21. They will want to end that woeful run of results with all three points against the bottom club on Saturday.
Peterborough United Preview – Posh to slip closer to the drop?
After winning promotion back to the Championship from League One last term, this was always going be a tough campaign for Peterborough United. Unfortunately for the Posh faithful, they look to be heading for an instant return to the third division.
United have picked up just six wins and have suffered the most defeats in the league (25). Peterborough sit rock bottom on just 27 points with six matches to play. They really do need a miracle.
