With both sides conceding just seven and six goals respectively so far and a history of close encounters, this match promises to be a tightly-fought battle with implications for the play-off race. Kick-off is set for Tuesday evening, with fans expecting a fiercely competitive contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-bets-amp-predictions\">Best Bets &amp; Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on Bristol City&#8217;s clinical edge and defensive steadiness, we&#8217;re backing the home side to come out on top.
