Bristol City vs Wolverhampton Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

When they looked at their remaining fixtures a month or so back, Wolves might have thought this would be a huge relegation six-pointer. As it turns out, they are already in a position where they can start planning for life in the Championship next term and on current form, they’ll be confident of continuing their fine run here.

Wolves come into this match following 5 straight wins. It’s a remarkable transformation given they’d taken just 1 point from 6 games prior to that. That five game winning streak includes victories in tough away games at Brentford and Fulham and they have tended to enjoy life on the road this season. Only five sides have collected more away points than them and they’ve won 35% of their away league fixtures this term.

Their average of 1.35 points per away game is better than what they’ve managed at Molineux, where they’ve really struggled for results until this current winning streak. The goals have also been flowing in recent games and one man who looks a resurgent force is Andreas Weimann. The Austrian is back under former boss Paul Lambert, who clearly rates him and that confidence in him looks to have rubbed off. He has been utilised in a more advanced central role of late and with 2 goals in his last 5 appearances, backing Weimann to score anytime at 12/5 could be a decent bet here with Bristol City poor at the back.

The Robins were hammered 5-0 at Preston in midweek to leave the board rumoured to be considering firing boss Lee Johnson. If Johnson does last until the weekend he can at least take confidence from his side’s shock 4-0 win over Huddersfield in their last home game. However, on balance that was probably little more than a freak result, which does happen from time to time in this league.

Bristol City’s last 21 league games have seen them lose 13 times and win just 3. They average just 0.67 points per game over that period, which is relegation form and they could fall into the bottom three if they fail to win this. The bookies are struggling to pick a favourite but the visitors are playing with real belief right now and backing Wolves 0.0 Asian Handicap at 1.975 looks to offer value.
