Prediction: 2-1
Stoke City
Bristol City and Stoke City square off against each other at Ashton Gate Stadium in what is expected to be a close Championship encounter. The Robins aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Leicester City and the fact that they crushed Plymouth 4-1 in their last home game is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Saturday’s encounter. Ross McCrorie continues to miss out through illness, while all Tommy Conway, Rob Atkinson, and Ayman Benarous are sidelined with injuries.
The Potters, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last five league matches. Stoke City are not considered good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Bristol City’s party at Ashton Gate Stadium. All Wouter Burger, Tyrese Campbell, Ryan Mmaee, Enda Stevens, Lewis Baker, and Emre Tezgel are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.

This appearance marked the 1.92 m standing goalkeeper's only appearance in a Watford shirt. Bonham then went on to play for clubs like Brentford, Carlisle United and Bristol Rovers before eventually joining Gillingham at the start of the 2019 season on a two-year contract. He's since featured nine times for the club and kept two clean sheets.
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.
