Bristol City welcome Hull to Ashton Gate this weekend, with both teams going into the game off the back of a victory. This exact fixture last season ended in a 1-0 home win for the Robins.
Bristol City
The Robins have struggled for consistency so far this season, which puts them in 14th with 29 points after 22 games. Bristol City are extremely strong at the back, which has won them plenty of points this season, but it has also affected their attack, as they’ve netted just 1.05 goals per game on average.
Last time out, new boss Liam Manning picked up an important 1-0 home win over Sunderland. To sum up the game, goalkeeper Max O’Leary was the player of the match, making nine saves!
Hull
The Tigers have been impressive this season, and if they continue their excellent form, they will be within the playoff spots at the end of the season. Hull have won ten of their 22 games, which puts them in sixth. They’re relatively strong at both ends of the field, scoring 34 goals and conceding 27.
Last time out, Hull picked up consecutive wins as they beat Cardiff 3-0 at home. The hosts dominated the tie from the first whistle to the last and thoroughly deserved the three points.
Verdict?
Bristol City have won five of their 11 home games, which is the same record as Hull’s away form. Hull should get something out of this game, but it will be a close encounter.
The final prediction is Bristol City 1-2 Hull City.
