Bristol City take on the visitors Preston in the round 9 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 12th at Ashton Gate Stadium (Bristol).
Bristol City looks pretty mediocre even at Championship level. The "Robins" were founded almost 130 years ago. But there is a cup in the asset, and then at the level of Wales (in 1934). Once again there was an exit to the final of the FA Cup, at the beginning of the last century, and then lost. Several times they went to the elite division of the country, but without much success. And in 2008, they lost to Hull in the playoff final. Since then, there have been maximum average results in the Championship, and in the last draw it was 17th at all. It seems to be good for the new season. But the picture was spoiled by 3 defeats in a row, and only in October it turned out to go 0-0 with Coventry. But then followed by 0-3 on the field of Birmingham.

Preston has been hanging out in the Championship for a long time. The "Invincible" can be considered a legend of English football. They were the 1st champions of England in 1888, and in the next draw they managed to get a "golden double" - they defended the title and added the cup. But for the rest of the time, in fact, only 1 significant trophy was added. Half a century later, in 1938, they managed to win the FA Cup again. Now this is the middle peasant of the Championship, which has not risen to the elite for decades (the last chance, in the form of a playoff, was missed in 2005), but in the middle of the last decade they spent several seasons in League 1. The last championship brought only 13th position. Now Ryan Loewy's wards started no better, there were defeats very often, at most - draws. It wasn't until October that a new upsurge began, when they beat West Bromwich (1-0 at home) and Norwich (3-2 away) in succession.
In the last decade, in 18 meetings, first in League 1 and then in the Championship, Bristol City have only won once. But that was in January last year. After that, in the 2021/2022 season, the parties drew twice. Bristol City are considered the favorite by experts, but frankly they haven’t been solid this season. Preston have been looking decent lately, so we can boldly bet on their victory with a handicap of "0".
Prediction for the match: Preston to win with 0.0 handicap.
