THE PREDICTION

Bristol City under Nigel Pearson will be expected a far better season than the most recent campaign, which saw them finish in 19^th-place. They host newly promoted Blackpool, who are perhaps understandably tipped by many to go straight back down, having finished third-place in League One last season before coming up via the playoffs. Whilst Neil Critchley’s men will look to soak up pressure and make things difficult for their opponents by maintaining a solid defensive shape, Bristol City should prove a different animal this season. A full pre-season under Pearson will have likely done the Robins squad a huge amount of good and with home advantage in their favour, they should begin the new campaign with three points.
