Bristol City Preview – Robins to crash to another damaging defeat?
Bristol City recently picked up two impressive away wins, beating promotion chasers Middlesbrough and Swansea City, both 3-1. New boss Nigel Pearson oversaw last weekend’s victory at the Liberty Stadium.
Bristol City were brought back down to earth with a bang in midweek, though, losing at home to Bournemouth. It was a disappointing night for Pearson and his men, with the Cherries coming from a goal down to get the points. That was Bristol City’s eighth loss in ten league and cup games.
The Robins’ woeful run of results in 2021 has seen them slip well of the pace in the battle for top six places. City are now in 12th position, ten points adrift of the play-offs. Pearson’s boys will be desperate for all three points on Saturday.
Queens Park Rangers Preview – R’s to return to winning ways?
Mark Warburton’s Queens Park Rangers have had an up and down kind of season. On their day, Rangers can beat anyone in the Championship, but they have suffered 12 defeats and drawn ten times.
The London side head to Bristol having failed to win in three, drawing with Preston North End and losing to Birmingham City and Barnsley. However, they recently won six of seven and four in a row. Rangers are in a lowly 17th spot but are eight points clear of the bottom three.

Having taken a mere point from the last nine of offer, Warburton’s boys would love to get back to winning ways this weekend. Despite being on the road, QPR are the bookies’ favourites in this one.
Bristol City vs Queens Park Rangers Betting Advice
At the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium on 1st December, Bristol City came from behind to win 2-1. Rob Dickie put QPR in front after just 12 minutes, but Nahki Wells levelled against his former club five minutes before half time. Five minutes after the break, Adam Nagy’s effort gave City the points in the capital.
Key Facts – Bristol City vs Queens Park Rangers Betting Tip
- Bristol City have suffered four consecutive home defeats
- QPR have picked up an impressive ten points from the last 15 on offer away from home
- The Robins have drawn just two home matches this term
Apart from a minor blip over the past week, Queens Park Rangers have been solid of late. Warburton’s troops will be looking for a strong end to what has been another mediocre campaign in the Championship. We fancy the R’s to take maximum points at Ashton Gate at the weekend, with the away win available at 13/10.
Charlie Austin has been in red-hot form since making the move back to QPR. The striker has netted five times during his loan spell so far, including two in his last two. Back Austin to score first in this one at 9/2.
