Bristol City - Southampton predictions

A home win is not something we would recommend betting on at the odds of 5.04 – but you’re probably aware of that already. It would take a miracle for Bristol City to pull off even a draw, let alone a win as underdogs.

Having a 1.75 selection on your slip can be a big boost to your potential winnings and with Southampton largely expected to beat Bristol City, you’d be wise to use it.

The Robins head into the Tuesday Championship clash on the back of a morale-boosting away victory. Despite the unfavourable betting odds ($ODDS_LAST_ROUND_AWAY), team from Bristol managed to get ahead in the first half and record an important Middlesbrough win.

The latest Southampton victory might seem convincing on paper, but they clearly displayed some problems in the early stages of their previous game against Huddersfield Town. Having to keep up with a weaker opponent is never a good look when you’re playing at home.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

The bookies see the away team as more likely to win this game, partly based on an earlier match played between them and Bristol City. Playing as the home tea, The Saints secured a solid victory and 3 more points for the tally. The conditions are somewhat less favourable this time, but they could still be able to come out on top.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Pncl priced at 1.95 odds.
