Lee Johnson looks likely to make one change from the side that beat Reading 2-0 on Boxing Day, with Jamie Paterson coming into the team. Fellow scorer Lloyd Kelly will also be hoping to play. There are a few players missing, as knee injuries will keep Famara Diedhiou, Ivan Lucic and Gary O’Neil out, while Callum O’Dowda, Eros Pisano and Jens Hegeler will play no part either.

Bristol City v Wolverhampton Wanderers Predictions

Bristol City have benefitted from Cardiff’s poor form but it’s still fair to say that they’ve slipped under the radar a little. Even die hard Robins fans would have expected them to drop off by now and they deserve every credit for being in the promotion mix with half a season gone. Whether or not they can halt Wolves’ unbeaten run remains to be seen.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are getting it right at both ends of the pitch. A glance at the stats above shows that they have been averaging two goals per game and are a tough nut to crack, conceding less than a goal every two matches. This will be a tricky game for Wolves but they are on a roll and will be confident of getting the win.

The hosts haven’t exactly been blowing teams away but have found a way of getting over the line. Wolves will be a different proposition and the visitors will be ready to pounce if Bristol City over commit in attack. This will be a close match but Wolves can take another step towards automatic promotion with a 1-2 victory.
