Along with mustering themselves a points tally of 41 and opening the midweek fixtures sat just two points adrift of breaking into the automatic spots, it should also be noted that the Bees hold the third-best attacking record in the division.

More impressive, Wednesday’s hosts have also lost just a single second-tier contest on home soil so far this season.

As for their recent run of Championship results, Bristol City were last seen getting hit with a 2-1 loss against Luton Town on the road. In fact, collecting just three points from their last four second-tier appearances, we’re backing a similar home victory on Wednesday night.
