THE PREDICTION
Bristol City enter this contest with no permanent head coach after dispensing with Dean Holden’s services following their 0-2 defeat at the hands of Reading in midweek. The Robins have lost their last six games in all competitions and host a Barnsley side in excellent form here. The Tykes have lost just one of their last six matches in all competitions, a narrow 0-1 defeat at the hands of Premier League high-flyers Chelsea in the FA Cup. The intense pressing and forward passing play of Barnsley has been lauded in recent weeks and helped see them end Brentford’s long unbeaten run last weekend in their most recent away fixture. A performance at a similar level to that one from Barnsley should see them come out on top once again here.
