Are Bristol City in the playoff race? I guess you'd have to say they are, after a couple of good recent results. This weekend they are at home again, and welcome QPR, who are in the relegation battle. It's yet another big Championship game this weekend, with three points on offer to the winner, as Bristol City take on QPR.
Bristol City Form GuideBristol City appeared to be on the way to falling out of the playoffs, but they've managed to fight back, and wins in their last two games have given them a chance. They're in 11th as we start the weekend, with 44 points, and that puts them four points behind sixth placed Coventry.
The feeling is that Bristol City are going to have to go on some run to get in the playoffs, but they've won their last two games, and aim to make it three here. On Tuesday, they won 3-1 at home to Southampton, ending their long winning streak, and last weekend, they won 2-1 away from home against Middlesbrough.
QPR Form GuideQPR remain inside the relegation zone, and while they've picked up points recently, it's not been anything above what others have done. That leaves them four points behind Millwall, who they are chasing, so regardless of what happens this weekend, QPR will remain in the relegation zone.
The good news for QPR though is that they come here on the back of just one loss in their last five games. They've won two and lost two, but the loss did come during midweek, when they were beaten 1-0 away at Stoke. Wins over Blackburn and Millwall have been good, while points have come thanks to draws with Huddersfield and Norwich too.
Match PredictionA big game for the playoffs and the relegation zone. While I respect what QPR have done to pick up points recently, I am siding with Bristol City here. They've won two in a row, need more to get in the playoffs, and I think we see them win again here.
