The EFL Championship match between Bristol City and Middlesbrough will take place at Ashton Gate on Saturday at 8:30 pm IST.
On Saturday afternoon, Bristol City and Middlesbrough clash in the Championship, both eager for a victory to enhance their playoff chances. The teams are closely positioned in the standings, with only one place and a two-point difference between them. Additionally, both teams enter the match on two-game unbeaten streaks.
Bristol City, amidst a transitional phase under new boss Liam Manning, enters a two-week break with optimism. Achieving two consecutive clean sheets since Nigel Pearson’s departure, the team, although scoring only once in these games against Sheffield Wednesday and Queens Park Rangers, has shown defensive solidity. This marks the first time since mid-September that Bristol City has gone two games undefeated, keeping them within four points of the top six. However, the challenge lies in scoring goals, as they haven’t scored more than twice in any of their nine recent Championship matches.
Middlesbrough enters the match against Bristol City as one of the in-form teams in the Championship, winning seven of their last nine games. Despite earning only one point against Stoke City and Plymouth Argyle, they secured a crucial 1-0 victory over league leaders Leicester City before the international break. While Middlesbrough has scored only seven goals at the Riverside Stadium, their away form is impressive, with 16 goals in eight games. With Bristol City winning just three of their eight home games, manager Michael Carrick is optimistic about securing maximum points in their upcoming clash in the North-East.
Bristol City probable starting lineup: O’Leary, Tanner, Vyner, Dickie, Pring, James, Knight, Sykes, Weimann, Bell, Conway
Middlesbrough probable starting lineup: Dieng, Van den Berg, Fry, McNair, Engel, Howson, Hackney, Jones, Crooks, Greenwood, Coburn
