Bristol City vs Huddersfield prediction: ENGLAND: Championship betting tips on match 2024-04-12 14:00.
[p]With little left to play for, the shackles have come off for Bristol City, whose 5-0 demolition job on Blackburn in midweek – their biggest victory in two years – was their fourth win in the last six (D1, L1), with a clean sheet recorded in five of those games including each of the last four. Scoring five is an anomaly where the Robins are concerned however, with only one club in the Championship failing to find the back of the net more often than them at home this season![/p]
[p]Despite that, City may well fancy their chances of another three points on Saturday against Huddersfield, who they have beaten in five of their last six H2Hs at Ashton Gate (L1), scoring 2+ goals in all six of those. Liam Manningâs side are also unbeaten in the last three H2Hs overall (W1, D2), which should reinforce belief that they can finish the season strongly.[/p]
[p]Visiting Huddersfield are fighting for their lives at the wrong end of the table, beginning this round outside of the relegation zone on goal difference after a midweek thumping at Preston made it just two wins in ten (D3, L5). Added to that, the Terriers have just one win in their last 12 away league matches (D6, L5) despite only failing to score in five of their 21 league clashes on the road this season.[/p]
[p]Concerningly, AndrĂ© Breitenreiterâs side have actually won the second-fewest league games in the Championship, in front of only already-relegated Rotherham, with Town earning a reputation as draw specialists. No club in the second tier have drawn more games than their 16, with the last two H2Hs both ending level too – both of which were overseen by a different manager.[/p]
[p]Key battle: Including two in midweek, Bristol City have converted all five of the penalties theyâve been awarded in the league this season, with top scorer Tommy Conway responsible for four of those. Up against him, Huddersfield âkeeper Lee Nicholls – who has conceded four goals across two H2Hs with the Robins – has interestingly been booked in two of the Terriersâ last three league wins.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Huddersfield have now conceded 4+ goals in eight league games this season, the most times they have done so since the 1955/56 season.[/p]
