Birmingham City will be aiming to claim their first Championship victory of the season when they welcome Bristol City in round two. As Bristol City failed to impress in their season opener, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Blues were held to a goalless draw by Sheffield United in their opener, despite dominating possession with 55% and recording 0.76 xG. Birmingham have won 60% of their last 10 home matches and average 1.60 goals per game on home soil. Leonard and Buchanan are both expected to miss out through injury.
Bristol City, meanwhile, suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Millwall and had zero attempts on target in their opening game. The Robins have won 40% of their last 10 matches, while their away games have produced 1.25 goals per game on average. Midfielder Adam Randell is suspended following his red card against Millwall, further weakening the visitors. Birmingham have also dominated this fixture historically, winning 17 of their previous 26 meetings.
The Blues have a strong home record and Bristol created little in their opener. Therefore, Home Win is our main betting tip for this Championship clash, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (Birmingham's last 10 games average just 2.10 goals).
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 12:30.
