Brentford vs Bristol City Predictions

• Brentford are unbeaten in their last 18 Championship games, winning ten.
• The Bees have won five of their last six league games overall (D1) and their last four starts at Griffin Park.
• Bristol City have lost five of their last six away matches, failing to score in four of those games.

Bees Readily Backed to Win Crucial Game in Hand

The pressure will be on Brentford this Wednesday night as they play out their game in hand against Bristol City, knowing that victory will take them into the automatic promotion places. But we’re backing the Bees to do the business with a fair degree of ease against a Robins side who have lost five of their last six away trips.

Brentford extended their remarkable unbeaten run in the league to 18 games on Saturday (W10, D8) with a ruthless 7-2 thrashing of Wycombe Wanderers and it’s impossible to bet against the Bees finally breaking out of the second tier this season.

After coming so close in 2019/20, Thomas Franke’s men made a shaky start to the new campaign but have been unbeatable since late October. If they had played to their current levels consistently since the opening day, there’s no denying that they would be streaks ahead of the competition.

They go into this vital fixture two points behind a Swansea side who have really excelled this season and are doing all they can to keep Brentford at bay. But three points here for the Bees will finally take them above the Welsh outfit and their odds of around 2/5 for success are fully justified.

We wouldn’t deter punters from playing with a straight bat and simply backing a Brentford win, though a home triumph to nil appeals at bigger odds.

The hosts have managed five clean sheets from 13 at Griffin Park this term, while visitors City have failed to net in four of their last six outings on the road. Prices around 13/10 are more than fair and we’re also tipping up a 2-0 correct score in favour of the home side.
