Bristol City v Leeds

Bristol City vs Leeds Preview

Bristol City's winless run in the Championship was extended to five games when The Robins drew 2-2 away from home at Coventry City which has resulted in the hosts remaining in a mid-table position of 13th place in the Championship table, while Leeds United picked up a fourth league win on the trot with a 1-0 home win against a resurgent Norwich City outfit to maintain Leeds United's challenge for possible automatic promotion.

Despite picking up points in draws with Birmingham City, Watford and Coventry City, Bristol City have also been handed defeats by the likes of Millwall and Preston NE in recent weeks as once again the hosts' inconsistent streak has come to the fore. Indeed, the bigger picture shows Bristol City have managed to capture just three wins from their last 12 matches which came in the shape of victories over Sunderland, Hull City and Watford respectively, but the west country outfit have also been handed no fewer than five defeats within this period as well.

Losses at the hands of Southampton, Norwich City, Blackburn Rovers, Millwall and Preston NE suggest this upcoming visit from high-flying Leeds United could produce another difficult evening at the office for Liam Manning's side.

Leeds United occupy fourth place in the Championship standings but more importantly, the Yorkshire club now find themselves just two points behind second placed Ipswich Town ahead of this upcoming clash at Ashton Gate, so the visitors will be highly motivated to grab all three points here on Friday night.

Recent victories against Birmingham City 3-0, Cardiff City 3-0, Preston NE 2-1 and Norwich City 1-0 have not only handed Daniel Farke's side a valuable sequence of wins and 12 points in four games, but his side have also kept clean sheets in three of these last four wins as well.

It's certainly been a highly promising campaign in this season's Championship for the Yorkshire club who had had to endure the agony of relegation from the Premier League at the end of last term and the bigger picture shows the visitors have suffered just three defeats out of their previous 16 games overall.

11 wins within these last 16 matches has helped thrust Leeds United into serious contention for possible automatic promotion and perhaps also proves that Leeds United are more capable of finding ways to win than their upcoming hosts, Bristol City. Bristol City v Leeds United Verdict

Bristol City's inconsistent nature will more than likely hand Leeds United plenty of chances during the 90 minutes at Ashton Gate and the visitors have also held the upper hand in previous exchanges against The Robins as they have won each of the last five meetings on the trot.

Therefore, our main bet will be Leeds United win @ 1.66
