Our prediction for this Championship match:
Saturday’s football game at Riverside Stadium pits together Middlesbrough and Bristol City, who shared the spoils with Fulham and Blackpool respectively in their season openers. The Boro were more than fortunate not to suffer a loss at Craven Cottage, with the team scoring the equalizer from their only shot on target. Considering that all Ameobi, Browne, and Fisher remain in the recovery room, we do not believe that home win should be considered.
The Robins, on the other hand, were on the verge of beating Blackpool at home, but the Seasiders eventually scored a late equalizer in the dying minutes of the match. Callum O’Dowda, who suffered an injury in the draw with Blackpool, is definitely out of contention, with Kasey Palmer stepping up. Anyhow, Middlesbrough and Bristol City seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and we are tempted to put our money on draw.

Bristol City are one of the two famous clubs from the city of Bristol. Formed in 1894 the Robins mostly participated in English lower leagues and they have never played in the Premier League. Bristol City’s bitterest rivals are Bristol Rovers and it has to be noted that two teams first met in 1897. Bristol City have outplayed their local rivals on 43 occasions in the Bristol Derby.
Cardiff City are regarded as Bristol City’s bitter rivals as well. The Robins play their home games at Ashton Gate, the stadium that was opened in 1887. Bristol City were semi-finalists of the League Cup two times (1970/1971, 1988/1989), with the team making it to the FA Cup final in 1909.
The Robins faced Manchester United in the title game, but they failed to upset the English giants in the Crystal Palace clash. It is well known that Bristol City footballers wear red shirts and blue shorts.
