Bristol City vs Swansea City Predictions

• Swansea have won once in their last 12 trips to Ashton Gate (D4 L7)
• The Welsh side have lost two of their three league games this term

Robins poised to punish Swans

Bristol City ended their awful run in the Championship with a 3-2 victory at Reading in midweek and the Robins look good value to add to that with three points on Friday night.

Swansea have made a nightmare start to the new season, losing two of their opening three Championship games. Having seen key players depart in the summer alongside their manager, the Swans were always expected to struggle this term. However, their midweek loss to Stoke has alarm bells ringing.

To make matters worse, the Swans have an awful record against Bristol City. They’ve won only once in their last 12 visits to Ashton Gate (D4 L7) and they’ve scored just six goals in the last 15 league meetings between the pair. The Swans head into this one winless in five of their last six meetings with Bristol City.

The Robins won in Wales when the pair met earlier this year and we’re backing them to punish the Swans yet again. The hosts are good value to make it two wins from two in the league so we’re backing them for a victory. Meanwhile, both teams have scored in the Robins’ last eight league games, so we’re backing a 2-1 home win.

• Both teams have found the net in Bristol City’s last eight Championship matches and four of Swansea’s last six
• Swansea have failed to win five of their last six Championship meetings with Bristol City
