Bristol City vs Bournemouth Prediction

Bristol City recently changed their managers, appointing the experienced Nigel Pearson after sacking Dean Holden. They are 11th in the Championship table, and have won their last two games.

Bournemouth, on the other hand, are 6th in the table, one point ahead of 7th placed Barnsley who have a game in hand. The Cherries have a good squad but have been an inconsistent unit this season.

The Cherries, despite their problems, should be able to triumph in this game.

Prediction: Bristol City 0-1 Bournemouth
