Our prediction for this Championship match:
Ashton Gate Stadium will host Saturday’s matinee between Bristol City and Cardiff City, the two teams who are level on points in the Championship standings. The Robins aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to QPR and Sheffield Wednesday and they are eager to give fans something to cheer about. Both Haydon Roberts and Ross McCrorie are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while all Sam Bell, Rob Atkinson, and Ayman Benarous remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Stoke City and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their four-game winless run in the English second tier. The South Wales outfit have suffered three defeats in the previous four away games, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. All Mark McGuinness, Jak Alnwick, and Callum ODowda remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Nahki Wells):
Born on June 1, 1990 in Hamilton, Bermuda, Nahki Wells is a 170-cm-tall attacker who plays for the Bermuda national team. Wells is a product of Dandy Town Hornets youth academy and he continued playing for the Bermudan side at senior level.
The experienced striker played for the likes of Bermuda Hogges, Eccleshill United and Carlisle United before joining Bradford City in 2011. After spending three seasons at Valley Parade, Nahki Wells signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Huddersfield Town in the winter of 2014. In 2017 he moved to Burnley, but he played for Queens Park Rangers as a loan footballer in the 2018/2019 season.
Speaking of his international career, Wells made his debut for the Bermuda national team in 2007. He scored his first ever goal for Bermuda in the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Trinidad and Tobago. The Burnley man will represent the Gombey Warriors at the 2019 Gold Cup.
Highlighted Team (Cardiff):
Cardiff City are a Welsh football club that compete in the English second tier (Championship). In 2009 they moved from Ninian Park to Cardiff City Stadium, the venue that officially holds 33,280 spectators.
The Bluebirds played their first ever Premier League match on 18 August, 2013, but they were beaten by West Ham United (0-2) on their debut in the English top flight. However, a week later Fraizer Campbell (two goals) and Aron Gunnarson helped Cardiff City record their first ever win in the Premier League.
The Bluebirds outplayed Manchester City back then, but they eventually dropped to the Championship at the end of the season. Fellow Welsh outfit Swansea City are considered Cardiff’s fiercest rivals and the two teams take on each other in the South Wales derby.
The colour of Cardiff City’s home kit is blue, whilst they wear red shirts and shorts when playing on the travels.
