Bristol City take on Huddersfield Town in round 43 of the EFL Championship on Saturday.
Liam Manning's Bristol are coming off a rousing 5-0 home win over Blackburn Rovers. Tommy Conway got the ball rolling for the Robins with an eight-minute first-half brace before Anis Mehmeti ended the game as a contest 17 minutes from time.
A late Nahki Wells brace was the icing on the cake as Bristol remain 12th in the standings with 57 points from 42 games.
Meanwhile, Andre Breitenreiter's Huddersfield are fresh off a 4-1 loss at Preston North End in midweek. Despite Josh Koroma's 42nd-minute opener, the Terriers conceded thrice in the last six minutes to return empty-handed from Deepdale.
The loss means that Huddersfield are only outside the relegation zone on goal difference, with 43 points from 42 games, with their stay in the second division far from secure with four games left.
On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, game prediction, and betting tips for the Bristol-Huddersfield Championship clash at Ashton Gate:

Bristol City vs Huddersfield Town prediction
Both sides have had far from impressive campaigns, especially Huddersfield, who are in a relegation dogfight as they strive to stay in the Championship.
Bristol are the more in-form side, which shows in their higher place in the standings. Although they are likely to finish in mid-table, Huddersfield's away form doesn't augur too well for their survival hopes.
In terms of their head-to-head, the Terriers have a narrow lead, but one win in eight Championship games means it would need a minor miracle of sorts to the three points.
Prediction: Bristol 2-0 Huddersfield
