Southampton vs Bristol City Prediction & Betting Tips (29 November)

It is with the desire to retrace the steps of the Ipswich - Leicester duo that Southampton attacks the eighteenth day of the Championship against Bristol City, currently on the threshold of the playoffs. The confrontation promises to be very interesting to follow since both camps have a very specific objective in mind. Defeated by Huddersfield last weekend, the Saints want to bounce back in front of their supporters in the middle of the week in order to get back on the path to success as quickly as possible. With six points out of six possible obtained at home since the end of October, the group coached by Russell Martin knows perfectly the recipe for victory at St’ Marys Stadium, as does Adam Armstrong, author of two goals in 180 minutes! Unlike their evening opponents, the men led by Liam Manning enjoyed a moment of happiness last week, thanks to the 3-2 success against Middlesbrough after an enticing game from the first to the last second.

In difficulty far from home, the Robins will have to take example from all the good things done against Boro to make life complicated for the former Premier League resident. Without a solution for two trips to the last sixteen opponents, no rebound will be observed as long as Sykes and his teammates lack efficiency.

Over the course of their last 17 fixtures in the Championship, Southampton have been involved in just four encounters in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 90 minutes. Although Bristol City cannot quite match these levels of consistency, at least one of the two keepers has emerged with a clean sheet in 12 of their previous 19 third-tier games.
