Correct score prediction: Bristol City 1-1 Southampton
Both teams are struggling badly at the moment, and it is hard to pick a winner. Bristol City are heading into this game on the back of a 1-0 win against Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday, and they will be aiming to maintain the momentum. The Saints, on the other hand, are undefeated in their four games in the Championship, and therefore, they are more than capable of getting something out of this fixture.

Bristol City preview: Eyeing back-to-back wins
Mark Sykes scored within five minutes after coming off the bench to lift the pressure off Gerhard Struber's shoulders, as they ended their four-game winless run.
Bristol made a solid start to the season, winning three of their opening five games, drawing the other two. They have seen a bit of a slump in form, but the victory at Carrow Road could help them build a strong momentum again.
Struber is missing as many as six players, with Joe Williams unlikely to be back from injury until the new calendar year.
Predicted lineup: Vitek (Gk), Tanner, Dickie, Atkinson, Sykes, Vyner, Randell, Borges, Twine, Mehmeti & Riis
Last five matches
- Bristol City 1-3 Oxford
- Preston 0-0 Bristol City
- Bristol City 1-1 Ipswich Town
- Bristol City 1-2 QPR

Southampton preview: Need to pick up wins
The Saints find themselves 15th in the Championship under Will Still, and they need more consistency.
After dropping down to the Championship, they have not been able to dominate like in previous years. Although they have lost only two league games, the Saints have drawn most of their games, and they need to convert them into three points.
Southampton attempted 21 shots against Swansea in their previous game but failed to hit the target, which is a good reflection of where their problem lies.
Predicted lineup: McCarthy (Gk), Wellington, Harwood-Bellis, Wood, Edwards, Jelert, Scienza, Charles, Jander, Armstrong & Fellows
Last five matches
- Liverpool 2-1 Southampton
- Southampton 1-1 Middlesbrough
- Sheff Utd 1-2 Southampton
- Derby 1-1 Southampton
- Southampton 0-0 Swansea
Player to watch: Adam Armstrong
Armstrong is an experienced attacker who has done well in the Premier League as well.
He has scored three goals this season and will be looking to improve his goal tally on Tuesday night.
