Saturday's matchday in the 35th round of the Championship will kick off in Bristol, where local Bristol City will face Welsh side Cardiff City at Ashton Gate Stadium. Here's the prediction for this match from our experts.
Bristol City
The "Robins" have spent some time in the upper half of the league table, but they have failed to contend for promotion. Currently, Nigel Pearson's team sits only 12th in the standings, with 44 points accumulated after 34 rounds. This is sufficient for them to feel confident without glancing at the bottom of the table, but not much more. In their last five matches, the "Robins" have lost three times, including in the last round away to Sheffield Wednesday with a score of 1-2.
Cardiff City
The "Bluebirds" also attempted to establish themselves in the upper half of the table, but a series of unsuccessful results led to a drop to 14th place. With 44 points after 34 rounds, Erol Bulut's team is on par with their upcoming opponent. In their last Championship match, the "Bluebirds" secured victory, defeating Stoke City 2-1 at home. This win ended Cardiff City's winless streak of four matches, which included three defeats and one draw.
