Bristol City hosts Leeds in round 1 of English Championship. The match will be played on Sunday, August 4th at Ashton Gate Stadium (Bristol)
The Robins conducted a thorough preparatory work. Six friendly matches were played, and Bristol gained five victories. The victories turned out to be informative, scoring and convincing. The last duel with Crystal Palace was a fly in the ointment - Bristol lost 0: 5, which looks at least strange against the background of the winning streak, and thoughtfully at the start of the season. In the last draw, the team entered the top ten but did not get into the playoffs, limiting itself to being in the eighth position. The team looked good in the past championship. 19 wins and 13 draws against 14 defeats are worthy figures. Truth be told, it is not so bright statistically - 59/53, which means that the defense of Bristol is not perfect.

Leeds is a club that is worth the Premier League. It lacked a little to increase the class, and the third place in the regular season and the failure in the playoffs look like a promise of a struggle for leadership in the upcoming season. The only question that has been arising for more than a year is the availability of decent defense. Judge for yourself, Leeds lost 13 matches, a little less than today's opponent, and the first two places, Norwich and Sheffield United, suffered 6 and 9 defeats, respectively. The difference is catastrophically huge, and Leeds cannot claim leadership with such a defense game. The scoring of the team is on top, but Leeds concedes unpleasantly a lot - 73/50.
Sunday evening promises to be hot. On the one hand, powerful Leeds, for which the upcoming championship has no other outcome than the struggle for leadership in the Championship, and there are not many real competitors, in truth. On the other hand, we will see Bristol, and it is very difficult to compete with it at Ashton Gate sometimes. But the Peacocks won three of the last five away matches, including the last two. I propose to bet on the victory of the visitors, but I think it pays to insure them with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Leeds to win with 0.0 handicap
