Bristol City vs Portsmouth Prediction and Betting Tips | December 29th 2024

Bristol City and Portsmouth take to the pitch for the last time in 2024 when they square off at the Ashton Gate Stadium on Sunday. The Robins head into the weekend unbeaten in their last three home games, picking up two wins and one draw, and will be looking to close out the year on a high.

Scott Twine grabbed the headlines for Bristol City on Boxing Day as he netted the only goal of the game to hand them a 1-0 victory over Luton Town at the Ashton Gate Stadium.

Before that, the Robins were on a four-game winless run, losing twice and claiming two draws since the start of December. Bristol City have picked up seven wins and nine draws from their 23 Championship games to sit 11th in the table, level on points with 10th-placed Swansea City.

Elsewhere, Portsmouth continued to struggle for results on the road as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Watford at Vicarage Road on Boxing Day. John Mousinho’s men have now failed to win their last six away games, losing four and claiming two draws since October’s victory at Queens Park Rangers.

Having gained promotion from League One last season, it has been a turbulent first half of the campaign for Portsmouth, who are 21st in the table with 20 points from their 21 Championship games, just one point above the bottom three.
