Bristol City Preview – Will the Robins suffer a sixth straight home loss?
Bristol City have had a topsy-turvy time in the Championship this campaign. Overall, the Robins have won 15, lost 18 and drawn four of 36 league matches. They may sit 13th, but only Wycombe Wanderers, Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham and Preston North End have suffered more defeats up until now.
After seven straight league and cup losses under Dean Holden, Bristol City have improved since his sacking. City have secured league wins over Middlesbrough, Swansea City and Birmingham City in recent weeks, though all three triumphs have come away from home.
Bristol City have been woeful at Ashton Gate lately, losing each of their last five home league fixtures. Under new boss Nigel Pearson, the Robins have lost at home to Bournemouth and Queens Park Rangers.
Rotherham United Preview – Can the Millers kick-start a revival this weekend?
Paul Warne’s Rotherham United have been in bad form of late, losing six of their last seven in the Championship.

As we touched on, Rotherham have a number of games in hand on the teams around them. In fact, United have played the fewest matches in the division. They are have four games in hand on Birmingham City, who are six points ahead in 21st.

Rotherham’s need for the points is far greater than Bristol City’s. The Millers won the reverse game at the New York Stadium, and we fancy the Yorkshire side to claim a crucial away victory this Saturday. The Rotherham win is nicely priced at 19/10.
Freddie Lapado has had a tough season, but the striker has netted two in his last two, including the winner against Sheffield Wednesday earlier in the month. Lapado is priced at 13/8 to get on the scoresheet at Ashton Gate this Saturday.
