The final game of the weekend from the Championship takes place on Sunday afternoon, and it promises to be a good one, with two teams going head to head who don't really like each other. Bristol City are the home side, but are in a poor run of form and they welcome Swansea City, who are seemingly getting themselves slowly out of the relegation battle.
Bristol City Form GuideWe've got 10 games to go in the Championship season, and because we are down to that number, I feel Bristol City will be safe this season, had it been 15 or so, then I would have been worried for them. They've been on a downward spiral for some time, and in recent weeks, have been as bad as I've seen from them in a few years.
They have lost their last four games in a row, with the most recent of those being a 3-2 defeat away at Ipswich. Before that, they lost 1-0 at home to Cardiff, 2-1 at Sheffield Wednesday and 1-0 at home to QPR, with the last two named teams there being teams who are scrapping at the bottom.
Swansea Form GuideSwansea are just below Bristol City in the standings, and I think what they have done over the past couple of weeks has been enough to keep them safe. They're playing better, it's still not great, but with so many problems this season, you get the feeling that this club is wanting to get to the end as soon as possible, so they can have a full reset.
It's been seven points from their last three games, with a draw and two wins, and the most recent of those was a 1-1 draw away from home against Watford. Before that, two wins, a 2-1 success at home to Blackburn and then a 2-1 away win at Sunderland.
Match PredictionI think Swansea can take something from this game, so I'll be backing them to do that. It may not be a win, so I'll go with the double chance market, covering a win for Swansea and the draw.
