Bristol City Preview – Can the Robins return to winning ways?
Since taking over the senior managerial role at Bristol City, Dean Holden has had a very fruitful time in the Ashton Gate dugout. Overall, the Robins have won six of their opening nine league and cup games of the season.
They started their 2020-21 Championship campaign with successive successes over Coventry City, Stoke City, Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest before the international break.
However, Bristol City dropped points for the first time under Holden last weekend, conceding at the death to draw 2-2 with Barnsley at Oakwell. They were then beaten at home by Neil Warnock’s Middlesbrough last time out.
Bristol City will be desperate to get back to winning ways after suffering their first league loss of the season in midweek. The hosts are available at 8/5 to secure the points on home turf this Saturday.
Swansea City Preview – Swans to leave Bristol with a positive result?
Like Bristol City, Steve Cooper’s Swansea City also made a superb start. The Swans picked up wins over Preston North End, Wycombe Wanderers and Millwall, and drew with Birmingham City in their opening four.
However, they fell to a shock defeat to Huddersfield Town at the Liberty Stadium after returning from the international break last week. They were then held to a 1-1 draw by Coventry City at St Andrew’s Trillion Trophy Stadium in Birmingham on Tuesday night.
