Bristol City vs Leeds prediction 02.02.2024

• Competition: Championship
• Date: Friday, 2nd February 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Ashton Gate Stadium (Bristol)

Bristol City are poised for another season where they are most likely to finish mid-table. Currently, they are in 13th place, just six points shy of the playoff zone, which they could potentially reach with exceptional form for the remainder of the season. However, their recent performance has been lackluster, with only one win in their last eight matches across all competitions. In their previous match, they drew 2-2 with Coventry on the road. Despite the statistics suggesting a draw was the most fair outcome, the team was likely dissatisfied as they had held the advantage until the 86th minute.

In the Championship this season, Leicester is clearly the superior team, poised to secure the title. Alongside Leicester, one other team will earn direct promotion to the Premier League, a decision that hangs between Ipswich, Southampton, and Leeds. Currently, just two points separate these three teams. Leeds had a fantastic streak of five consecutive wins until last weekend, when they had a 1-1 draw at their home ground in the FA Cup against Plymouth. Despite having 66% ball possession and ten more shots on goal than their opponents, Leeds was unable to clinch victory.

Bristol City vs Leeds pick: Under 2.5 goals

Bristol City managed to net only five goals in their recent eight matches. Conversely, Leeds conceded a mere three goals in their last seven games. Therefore, betting on under 2.5 goals seems to be the most sensible option for this match.
