TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Bristol City made a lightening fast start to their last match, a difficult away game at Bolton. Scoring twice in 20 minutes was the perfect start but then their defence started creaking and duly collapsed under the Bolton pressure. Conceding three goals without much resistance gave the points to the Lancashire side. With a terrible start to the season with injuries to key players already causing defensive frailties. Bristol City have not been playing with a patched up back four and it has been a struggle. City had begun the season well but have hit rock bottom with just 1 win in eight matches. With good forward options though and a very attack minded midfield things they are capable of testing most teams in this division.
Burnley have had to deal with the shock resignation of coach Eddie Howe. For family reasons he has made a return to lower league Bournemouth. Youth coach Terry Pashley takes the reigns temporarily. Burnley have the worst defence in the league with an amazing 22 goals conceded in 10 games, however they did perform well last time out as they managed an impressive shut out against a very attacking Blackpool team. With exciting prospect Charlie Austin netting with his only chance, the leagues leading scorer (12 goals in 10 games) will be hard to keep hold of when the transfer window opens in January.

BRISTOL CITY - BURNLEY PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

The Draw at 3.54 (Pinnacle) is the selection. There should be a glut of goals in this game, its a really difficult game to call. A hard game to nail down were all three outcomes are possible but I think this will be a very high low scoring game as both sides will be on the offensive from the off. Neither side is in particularly good form so we will take the draw which is always attractively priced with Pinnacle.

BRISTOL CITY - BURNLEY:ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Bristol City 0 (1.88 with 188bet) is the selection. In such a tight game we are looking at the draw no bet market. The draw is a lively runner here so we are going with Bristol plus cash back on the stalemate. Burnley are too reliant on Charlie Austin and in the weekend game against Blackpool they looked very average. If their talismanic frontman doesn't perform they don't either, any team heavily invested on one man cannot be trusted.
