Bristol City to Win

Reason for tip

Bristol City fought back from a goal down to win at Blackburn in midweek and can follow that up by beating poor travellers Watford, who they thumped 5-1 in the FA Cup at Ashton Gate last month. The Robins have won four of their last seven at home across all comps, losing just once, while Watford are winless in five on their travels.

Bristol City 2-0

Reason for tip

Three of the City’s last four home wins have been accompanied by clean sheets and Watford have drawn blanks in four of their last six games. The Hornets haven’t conceded more than twice in any of their nine games since being humbled at this ground in the cup, so a 2-0 home win has a chance.

Scott Twine To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

Scott Twine scored what proved to be City’s winner at Blackburn on Tuesday and he can follow that up with another strike against Watford. Twine has nine goals in 33 league games this season, two of which have come in his last five games, and he laid on an assist in the FA Cup meeting between these sides after entering the action in the second half.

Robins can maintain play-off push

Bristol City fought back from a goal down to win at Blackburn in midweek and they will be looking to close the gap on the top six further on Friday when out-of-sorts Watford visit Ashton Gate.

The Robins have been in mixed form in general with three wins in their last six games (D1, L2) but at home they have been more reliable, winning four and losing just one of their last seven games. That run of home wins includes a 5-1 success against the Hornets in the FA Cup in January

Watford still have a chance to gate-crash the play-off spots themselves but their form suggests promotion is unlikely this season. The visitors have won just one of their last 10 games and are winless in five on the road, while they slipped to a 2-0 loss at home to Ipswich in their own midweek assignment.

Edward Still is the Hornets’ third manager of the new season but it remains to be seen what kind of impact he will make in the remainder of the campaign, with the club taking four points from three matches since his appointment. Based on form, a Bristol City win looks the best angle here but a repeat of their 5-1 cup rout is perhaps unlikely and a routine 2-0 home win is the correct score pick.

Three of the Robins’ last four home wins have been accompanied by clean sheets and Watford have drawn blanks in four of their last six games – but they haven’t conceded more than twice in any of their nine games since being humbled at this ground in the cup.

Scott Twine scored what proved to be City’s winner at Ewood Park on Tuesday and he can follow that up with another effort when Watford visit. Twine has nine goals in 33 league games this season, two of which have come in his last five games, and he laid on an assist in the FA Cup meeting between these sides after entering the action in the second half.
