    Preview: Bristol City vs. Swansea City - prediction, team news, lineups
    Full of confidence after a win in the South Wales derby, an in-form Swansea City travel over the border to face Bristol City in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

    Russell Martin's men have ascended the second-tier table rapidly over the past month and occupy a playoff position heading into this weekend, whereas the Robins have inconsistency and defensive frailties to blame for a current 13th-placed standing in the table.

    We say: Bristol City 1-3 Swansea City
    Bristol City are not shy in front of goal but it is a leaky defence at the other end that has hampered their start to this Championship campaign.

    Swansea are high on confidence after six wins in the last seven and will be eyeing up a fragile Robins' defence when they visit Ashton Gate on Saturday.
    Bristol City possible starting lineup:
    O'Leary; Vyner, Klose, Atkinson; Sykes, James, Weimann, Dasilva, Scott; Semenyo, Wells

    Current trends would strongly favour a comfortable win for Swansea.
    However, we are so unpredictable anything could happen.
    My heart says a 2-0 win for BCFC
    My head says a 2-0 defeat :(

    .... at least Pato won't be able to score and rub our noses in it - he's injured at the moment apparently.

    Pato returns to the bench today but I would be surprised to see him come on unless we get injuries.

    No Kalas or Klose were fooked

    No Weimann either we are truly fooked if an injury happens.

    This shows how weak we are when we have key players missing

    Fantastic last ditch tackle by Pring saves us from going a goal down

    Lots of new names on the sheet today and are the obvious missing in action injured or the sick bug?
