Our prediction for this Championship match:
Following a 1-1 draw with Sunderland, Bristol City will be aiming to move closer to the playoffs berth when they take on Queens Park Rangers on Matchday 21. The Robins rolled over Plymouth 4-0 in their last home game, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of QPR. Bristol City’s injury list remains pretty long, including the likes of Kal Naismith, Mark Sykes, Joe Williams, George Tanner, Ross McCrorie, and Ayman Benarous.
The Hoops, on the other hand, defeated Oxford United 2-0 on Wednesday evening, with Sam Field scoring a brace. The capital club are after their third consecutive league win, but given their ups and downs on the road, the share of spoils is on the horizon. With no fresh injury worries to report, Marti Cifuentes is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Yellows at the weekend.
Highlighted Team (Bristol City):
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.
