Bristol City vs Stoke – Free Betting Tips & Predictions

Bristol City are targeting their third straight victory over Stoke when the teams meet in the Championship on Saturday. Read our top predictions for this weekend’s fixture below.

Bristol City to Win

Bristol City hit the ground running after the mid-season break when they recorded a fine 3-1 win at Rotherham last weekend and that victory should arm the Robins with plenty of confidence ahead of their meeting with Stoke on Saturday. City have won each of their last two encounters with the Potters and a third successive win against them could be in the offing here.

Under 2.5 Goals

Both of Bristol’s back-to-back wins over Stoke in the teams’ last two encounters featured just a single goal and margins could be similarly thin when the sides face off again on Saturday. City are averaging just 1.18 goals per 90 minutes at home this term, while Stoke have been averaging just 1.0 goal per game on the road. Those record suggest fireworks are unlikely at Ashton Gate this weekend.

Both Teams to Score – No

With margins tipped to be wafer thin in Bristol this weekend, an opportunity to back both teams not to score at Ashton Gate could arise. That has been a winning bet in each of the last four meetings between the clubs with one team failing to score on each occasion and history could repeat itself in the latest tussle between the bottom-half outfits on Saturday.

Bristol City vs Stoke News & Injuries

Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Saturday’s Championship showdown between Bristol City and Stoke below.

Bristol City

Defender Tomas Kalas has a calf injury and isn’t expected to return to the fold until later in the month. In midfield, Ayman Benarous is a long-term absentee with an ACL injury. Bristol City won 3-1 at Rotherham while deployed in a 3-5-2 formation and they could stick with the same system on Saturday.

Bristol City

Stoke could be without a couple of bodies in midfield this weekend. Sam Clucas and Josh Laurent are sidelined with back and leg injuries respectively, though a return before the New Year is on the cards for both. City drew 2-2 at home to Cardiff in their first game back in the saddle last week.
