Bristol City vs Barnsley match preview, betting advice, and betting tips: The hosts should win comfortably to be safe
Match Preview – 16.00 Kick-Off at Ashton Gate Stadium, Bristol
Bristol City are not safe yet, in 18th place and just four points ahead of Blackburn who are in relegation zone. A win over Barnsley would be enough to ensure safety and the result is certainly not beyond Bristol City who won their last three matches at home and scored nine goals in the process. Barnsley, inconsistent as ever, are safe in midtable after enjoying a season well above their standards. They play without pressure and are dangerous opponents, but are clearly the underdogs here.

Bristol City vs Barnsley Predictions
Bristol City won three games in a row at home, even thrashing high flying Huddersfield 4-0 in the process. They might be inconsistent, but this is their best chance to take the three points they need against unmotivated Barnsley, and it will be a big surprise if they don't achieve their goal. The odds are not too high at 1.61, but they are logical. Barnsley used to be involved in high scoring fixtures throughout the season, but that tendency has changed lately, with six out of their last seven games producing less than 2.5 goals. That makes the odds on such an affair look quite tempting at 2.30.
