Our prediction for this Championship match:
Bristol City
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Cardiff
Ashton Gate Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Bristol City and Cardiff City, the two bottom-table sides. Bristol City aim to make amends for a 6-2 loss to Fulham, and they should take advantage of Cardiff City’s anything but good form. Both George Tanner and Joe Williams remain in the recovery room, while both Martin and Atkinson are pushing for a start. You should know that the Robins are eyeing their fifth home win of the process.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, are on a five-game winless run in the Championship. Cardiff City failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Blackburn Rovers, and seeing that they are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Bristol, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the hosts. Kieffer Moore is a major doubt after he was tested positive for coronavirus.
Highlighted Player (Nathan Baker):
Nathan Baker is a product of Aston Villa football academy. The left-footed defender played 115 games for Aston Villa in the league and it has to be noted that he scored only goal for the club during his spell at Villa Park. Nathan Baker is used as both centre-back and left-back and the 189-cm-tall footballer is very good in the air.
Nathan Baker was born in Worcester, England on April 23, 1991 and he currently plays for Bristol City in the Championship. After ending his loan spell with the Robins, he signed a permanent deal with the club on July 28, 2017 for an undisclosed fee. Nathan Baker has yet to make his debut for England national team, but he has three caps for England U21 team.
Nathan Baker made his debut for the under-21 squad against Iceland back in 2011. The English footballer has a contract with Bristol City which expires on June 30, 2021.
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.
