Southampton will welcome Bristol City to St. Mary's Stadium on matchday seven of the Championship. With the home side seeing five of their last six games end with over 2.5 goals, our prediction leans towards another high-scoring affair.
Southampton are sitting in 13th place with seven points in the league table and are two behind the promotion playoff places. Their opponents, Bristol, are in seventh place and have accumulated ten points from five games.
The Saints have shown themselves to be a stubborn opponent. They enter this clash unbeaten in their last five matches, recording three victories during that run.
Their most recent match was against Swansea. With home advantage at their disposal, the home side secured a commanding 3-1 victory. This halted a run of two successive 1-1 draws to Birmingham and Lincoln.
Bristol City remain a team capable of upsetting the odds. The visitors are on an upward trajectory, winning their last three Championship games after failing to win their first two games.
The Robins' recent success came against Burnley over the weekend. Trailing by a goal in the 56th minute, Michael Skubala's men found another gear to turn the match on its head as late goals from Robert Dickie and Yu Hirakawa saw the team secure a 2-1 away victory.
That outcome extended their unbeaten run on the road to three games. Notably, they've won their last two.
