Bristol City vs Swansea City Predictions

• The last 12 league meetings between the pair have only featured nine goals in total.
• Swansea have won just one of their last nine away league games against Bristol City.
• Bristol City have lost just one of their last six Championship games at Ashton Gate

Two of the division’s top five clash

Bristol City will hope they can return to winning ways when they welcome Swansea City to Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon.

Dean Holden’s troops suffered a 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough on Tuesday evening, in what was their first defeat of the new Championship campaign.

The Robins are still second in the table and three points behind leaders Reading, while Swansea are hot on their tail after a strong start under boss Steve Cooper.

Swansea are fifth and two points behind Saturday’s opponents, with only one defeat in their first six games.

While the Welsh outfit have not lost in nine away games in the Championship, they do not have a good record at Ashton Gate. Their only win in nine meetings came in February 2011, but they will be without on-loan pair Kasey Palmer and Morgan Gibbs-White for this weekend’s battle.

Their absence will be felt throughout the dressing room, and the Robins have what it takes to claim a narrow home win.
