Bristol City to Win

Reason for tip

Bristol City look well placed to pick up another home win in the EFL Championship. They come into this match in strong form after thrashing Portsmouth 5-0 and have now won three of their last four league games. Ashton Gate has been a key factor, with back-to-back home victories and solid returns against top-half sides. Preston North End may sit slightly higher in the table, but the gap is minimal and recent head-to-heads favour the hosts, who are unbeaten in nine of the last ten meetings.

Bristol City 2-1

Reason for tip

A tight contest is likely, but Bristol City can edge it. They have scored at least twice in four of their last six Championship games and continue to look sharp going forward, particularly at home. Preston are competitive but vulnerable in narrow defeats, with all five of their losses this season coming by a single goal. Both teams have scored in six of the last eight meetings between these sides, suggesting Preston can get on the scoresheet, but Bristol City’s current momentum points towards a 2-1 home win.

Bristol City Can Make Home Advantage Count

Bristol City have won their last two home games in the Championship and they should be backed to beat Preston on Sunday.

Preston are two places above Bristol City in the table, but just a point separates the two sides. Both teams have won more games than they have lost this season, with Preston sixth and Bristol City eighth.

Bristol City kept up their recent winning trend with a 5-0 win over Portsmouth on Thursday, making it three wins in the six matches in which they have been odds-on this season. They were 3/4 to win the game and comfortably obliged for favourite backers.

Bristol City seem to be firing on all cylinders, having won three of their last four Championship matches. They have also gone unbeaten in nine of the last ten head-to-head meetings with Preston.

The hosts have looked good up front this season. Bristol City have scored at least twice in four of their last six Championship games, and they have averaged 1.60 goals a game in their five home matches against other top-half teams.

Bristol City may be able to edge out Preston in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Both teams have scored in six of the last eight Championship meetings between these sides and all of Preston’s five defeats this season have been by a single goal.
