Bristol City vs Cardiff City Match Analysis & Prediction
06/10/2024 5:00 pm
Looking to prevent their rivals from posting back-to-back wins, Bristol City play host to Cardiff City at Ashton Gate Stadium on Sunday evening for another Championship edition of the Severside derby.
The Robins were forced to share the spoils with Sheffield Wednesday earlier in the week, while the Bluebirds managed a rare victory in South Wales against Millwall on Tuesday night.
Bristol have won just one of their last six Championship matches after a frustrating night at Ashton Gate on Wednesday, when they were forced to share the spoils with strugglers Sheffield Wednesday, who hel on resolutely to secure a goalless draw.
Rather unsurprisingly, Bristol are currently occupying 13th place in the Championship standings after picking up a steady tally of 10 points from their opening eight league matches, sitting five points behind Blackburn Rovers in sixth and three ahead of 22nd-placed Queens Park Rangers.
At the eighth attempt, Cardiff City managed to secure their first win of the 2024-25 Championship campaign on Tuesday, when the hosts at the Cardiff City Stadium fought hard to post a narrow one-goal victory over Millwall.
In a game devoid of much attacking quality, it was a moment from a set piece which allowed Cardiff to snatch maximum points, with a delightful ball from midfielder Joe Ralls falling onto the head of right-back Perry Ng, who scored his side’s third league goal of the season.
Bristol City vs. Cardiff City Head to head

Bristol City Team News
Bristol City remain without the services of centre-back Rob Dickie, with the 28-year-old targeting a return from a hamstring injury after the October international break.
After keeping a clean sheet last time out, Liam Manning should stick with a centre-back pairing of Luke McNally and Zak Vyner, with George Tanner operating at right-back.
