Bristol City’s search for a first win in four matches in the Championship pits them against title-chasing Middlesbrough this weekend. The Saturday match finds Bristol in 11th place while Middlesbrough are second. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
Bristol have failed to win any of their last three matches, all of which were against sides above them. The Robins are coming off a 1-0 loss to league leaders Coventry, having earlier drawn with Leicester City and lost to Millwall.
Being winless in seven of their 11 home matches means Bristol could struggle this weekend. In their last four home games, they managed just one win, losing two and drawing the other.
Middlesbrough had a small blip when Rob Edwards left, but their stability is back under Kim Hellberg. Under the Swede, they’ve put up a four-match winning run.
This has closed up the gap against Coventry City from 10 to five points. As they are the second-best-performing away side, Middlesbrough will go into this game confident of extending their good run.
The only negative they carry here is the lack of clean sheets. In the visitors’ last 10 games, they didn’t keep a clean sheet, but two straight wins on the road set them well heading into this assignment. The target will be breaking their seven-match winless streak against Bristol.
