Bristol City Team News

Bristol City manager Lee Johnson will be in no hurry to tinker with his side after their impressive 0-2 win away to Fulham on Tuesday. The Robins have a trio of long-term injuries in Gary O’Neil, Famara Diedhiou and Jens Hegeler. In-form striker Bobby Reid is the main danger for the hosts and can move into double figures for the season with a goal here.

The visitors have a number of injuries to contend with. Kadeem Harris, Lee Camp and Rhys Evitt-Healey remain in the treatment room for the foreseeable future while Joe Bennett and Kenneth Zohore are major doubts. Omar Bogle and Danny Ward both notched goals against Ipswich, giving manager Neil Warnock a decision to make as to who should start up-front.

Bristol City v Cardiff Predictions

Bristol City will be in high spirits after an impressive display away to Fulham last time out. They’re on a run of three straight wins in all competitions and winning this would have the rest of the division sitting up and taking note.

Cardiff were also looking good in midweek, with a convincing 3-1 victory over Ipswich Town. This side don’t let many in but will need to be at their best to keep the Robins out. The Bluebirds are also missing a couple of key players.

I expect both of these sides to be fighting it out for promotion this season and both can expect to finish in the playoffs at least. This is a big match and neither manager will be taking too many risks. The tip is for this one to end as a draw and a Correct Score bet on 1-1 is advised.
