Bristol City v Middlesbrough Predictions

The Robins are flying high in a playoff spot and have claimed some big scalps in recent weeks. They took down an out of form Fulham side and overcame promotion hopefuls Cardiff City. After a wobble against Preston North End, they bounced back with a good win last time and will be a tough nut to crack at Ashton Gate.

The Boro have been dogged by inconsistency this season and need to put a run of results together to get back in the playoff hunt. Garry Monk’s return to Leeds United was a match to forget but they bounced back with a win against struggling Birmingham City. It’s hard to draw any positives from the way they performed at home to Derby last time, though.

Bristol City have only lost twice at home this season. By contrast, Middlesbrough’s away form is not the greatest with only three wins from their last eight on the road. At the odds, the home side look well worth a bet and the Correct Score tip is 2-1 to Bristol City.
