We have a full book of Championship fixtures on Saturday afternoon, and the first of those to kick off is this game, where Blackpool travel to face Bristol City.
Bristol City Form GuideBristol City are right in the middle of the pack at the moment, clear of the relegation zone, and nowhere near the playoffs. It's early to say, but in many ways, they already have nothing to play for. They go into the weekend with 45 points and that puts them in 13th position in the standings.
Recently, in their last six games, Bristol City have two wins, three draws and just one defeat, which came away at Cardiff. Last weekend they picked up a draw, a game that ended 0-0 away at Huddersfield. They are good at home, their last three home games have resulted in two wins and one draw.
Blackpool Form GuideBlackpool are down in a relegation fight, and need all the points they can get. They are 22nd going into the weekend, which is in the relegation zone, and they are six points away from Cardiff who are above them and safe. All three teams in the relegation zone have 32 points so things are tight, but they need to get wins on the board if they want to escape.
Last weekend, Blackpool picked up a good draw in a home game against Burnley, drawing 0-0. But when you look at their form, there is a big difference between home and away games. At home they've got five points from three games, away they have no points from their last three games. This game against Bristol City is an away game.
Match PredictionA big game for Blackpool but they have to travel away and play this, where they have not been as good recently. With that in mind, Bristol City are the pick to win this game. They have a good home record, Blackpool are poor away from home, so it's a Bristol City win in the Championship on Saturday.
