Bristol City v Wolves Prediction: 5/1 Bet Builder for Ashton Gate clash

Wolves are faring the best of the three teams relegated from the Premier League last season and they can stay in the hunt for promotion back to the top flight by winning at Bristol City on Wednesday.

Wolves have collected 10 points from their last four games under Cesar Paixoto and find themselves in the early running for automatic promotion.

Bristol City finished 12th last season and are a mid-table outfit again under Michael Skubala having rallied late to pick up their first win in five games at Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.

Bristol City v Wolves Tips Summary

Best Bet - Wolves to win @ 6/5
Alternative Bet - Fer Lopez to score or assist @ 11/10
Bet Builder - Match Goals Range: 2-3 Goals, Adam Armstrong 1+ Shots on Target & Lorent Tolaj 2+ Fouls Committed @ 5/1

Bristol City v Wolves

Bristol City v Wolves Prediction

Best Bet: Wolves to win @ 6/5

Wolves finished bottom of the Premier League last season but they have made a more promising start to the new campaign than fellow relegated sides West Ham and Burnley, and they can stay in the promotion hunt with a win over Bristol City at Ashton Gate.

It has not all been smooth sailing for Wolves, but two of their three league losses have come on the road to strong teams in West Ham and Middlesbrough, with last month's home defeat by Bolton the only real head-scratcher of a result.

Since then they have won at Burnley, drawn with Portsmouth and beaten Watford and Cardiff to nil at home. Their last three games have been at Molineux but wins at Preston, Sheffield United and Burnley and a 2-2 draw at Birmingham show they are capable of performing well on the road.

Home form has been an issue for the Robins, who have lost four of their first six league fixtures at Ashton Gate to Millwall, Skubala's old club Lincoln, Blackburn and Sheffield United since beginning the campaign with a 1-0 home defeat by League Two Walsall.

Scoring goals has been the real issue for them in Bristol, with only three goals scored in six home games and they have lost three of their last four at home by a 1-0 scoreline.

The weekend win at Bolton should have boosted City's confidence, but they were trailing 2-1 to the Trotters until the 84th minute of that game and their last four league wins have all come against teams who were in the bottom six after the weekend games.

Wolves should pose a tougher test and look capable of claiming their fourth away win of the season in the league.

Alternative Bet: Fer Lopez to score or assist @ 11/10

Fernando Lopez, known as Fer, is enjoying his second season of English football far more than the first and he has become a key player for Wolves.

The 22-year-old Spanish forward was loaned back to his former club, Celta Vigo, for the second half of last season after having limited opportunities in the Premier League, but he has really found his feet in the Championship this year.

Lopez has scored seven goals in 14 league and cup appearances, including his team's first goal in the win at Burnley and Saturday's victory over Cardiff. He has added three assists in the league and is well worth backing to make another goal contribution.

Bristol City v Wolves Bet Builder Tip

  • Match Goals Range: 2-3 Goals

  • Adam Armstrong 1+ Shots on Target

  • Lorent Tolaj 2+ Fouls Committed

    Pays 5/1

Start a three-leg bet builder by taking the match to produce a total of either two or three goals.

City's five-goal game at Preston was a real outlier as their previous three matches had produced a total of two goals and none of their previous six had seen more than two scored.

Wolves' games have been higher-scoring without seeing floods of goals, but three of their last four have produced either two or three and that looks a realistic number for this game, with a 2-0 or 2-1 Wolves win landing in that area.

Adam Armstrong plays in a more advanced role for Wolves than Lopez and he looks a solid choice to have a shot on target in the match. He has netted in each of the last two games, taking his total for the season to four.

City striker Lorent Tolaj has a lot of talent and has scored twice this season but he also attracts plenty of attention from referees and has committed 2.1 fouls per game in his last 10 Championship appearances.
