Bristol City vs Wycombe Wanderers prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2020-21

Bristol City are set to play hosts to Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday at Ashton Gate in their next EFL Championship fixture.

Bristol City come into this game on the back of a 1-0 loss to Preston North End last Saturday at Deepdale.

A first-half penalty from midfielder Daniel Johnson was enough to secure the victory for Alex Neil's Preston North End side.

Wycombe Wanderers, on the other hand, drew 1-1 against Queens Park Rangers last Saturday at Adams Park.

An own goal from right-back Jason McCarthy put QPR ahead in the first half, but a late second-half goal from young midfielder Anis Mehmeti for Wycombe Wanderers ensured a draw.

Bristol City vs Wycombe Wanderers Prediction

Bristol City have not enjoyed a good run of form, and have lost four of their last five games. They sit ninth in the league table, and manager Dean Holden has a challenge ahead as their injury list mounts.

Wycombe Wanderers, on the other hand, sit at the bottom of the league table. They have done well with their resources, and have proved that they are not pushovers despite their surprise promotion. With a little luck, the Chairboys could have been in a better position by now.

Bristol City will be keen to get back on the winning track, and while it will not be an easy match against Wycombe Wanderers, they should be able to emerge victorious.

Prediction: Bristol City 1-0 Wycombe Wanderers
