Team News

Bristol City
Coventry
  • Liam Manning has four injuries to contend with as he picks his squad for the visit of Coventry on Saturday.
  • The Bristol City boss could make one change to the side that beat Millwall last time out with Scott Twine replacing Mark Sykes on the right.
  • Coventry will once again be without the injured duo of Ben Sheaf and Raphael Rodrigues.
  • Mark Robins may opt for a change at the back with Bobby Thomas and Liam Kitching both hoping to return to the starting XI.

Prediction

  • Bristol City came out on the right side of a seven-goal thriller against Millwall last weekend, racing into a 2-0 lead before falling 3-2 behind, only to score twice late on and rescue all three points.
  • Liam Manning's men are unbeaten after two games but face their toughest test so far against Mark Robins' men.
  • Coventry took the lead on three separate occasions last time out as a last-gasp Haji Wright strike proved enough to see off the threat of newly-promoted Oxford United.
  • While the scoreline looked narrow, the performance will be encouraging for Robins, who has aspirations of a top-six finish this season.

  • Haji Wright +220 / Ellis Simms +240 TSA

  • On form, it’ll be a little bit of a surprise to see Coventry win. Bristol 1 or 2-0
