EVENT ENDED!

OddsDigger’s Tip

After racking up four consecutive friendly victories in a preseason, Bristol City’s confidence should be flying fairly high coming into The Championship season, as they try to build on finishing last campaign strongly.

Match Preview

Before the summer and ahead of our Bristol City vs Barnsley preview, the hosts had managed to clamber away from the relegation zone, but will now have to face life without star loanee striker Tammy Abraham.

Three clean sheets against Guimar, Cheltenham Town and FC Twente have set the hosts up nicely, and they have been strong in 2017 at Ashton Gate - minus a final day home defeat against Birmingham.

Aside from losing to the Blues, the home side managed to lose just one other league home games since the start of February, and that is a run that they will be attempting to build upon.

The away side, however, have been poor on their league travels, influencing our Bristol City vs Barnsley predictions heading into the weekend.

During the last three away matches of the last Championship campaign, Paul Heckingbottom’s men conceded a cumulative nine goals, a defensive record that will need to tighten up considerably.

Bristol City vs Barnsley Prediction and Betting Advice

The away side have had a few of their key players prised away from them over the last six months or so, meaning that their efforts and cohesion have suffered a little after a brilliant first half to last season.

According to our Bristol City vs Barnsley picks, the hosts should be confident that they can start the new Championship season in positive fashion, making the most of their form at Ashton Gate.
