THE PREDICTION

Bristol City may be approaching the end of their new manager hunt with reports emerging that Nigel Pearson is set to take over until the conclusion of the season. Whatever the case, they desperately need to change things on the pitch having lost their last seven games in all competitions. Middlesbrough on the other hand are high on confidence with key players such as defender Dael Fry back from injury and off the back of victory away at Reading. Neil Warnock won’t let his side rest on their laurels however, and the Teesiders should take their momentum into this match. Therefore, the hosts draw no bet should prove the smart play.
