Bristol City are unbeaten in the Championship this season (W1, D2)
Hull shipped three goals in last week’s 3-0 home defeat to Blackburn
Recommended bet: Bristol City to win and over 2.5 goals
Both Bristol City and Hull have made satisfactory starts to the new Championship season and a win for either this weekend will boost optimism further.
Home advantage and a solid defence gives Bristol City the edge in this clash, with the hosts expected to come out on top.
The Robins lost midweek in their Carabao Cup tie against Fulham, but with head coach Gerhard Struber making several changes to his team, freshness should not be an issue for this clash.

Team News
Emil Riis did not feature against Fulham after departing the pitch with an ankle injury in last week’s draw with Derby, his availability for this clash is, therefore, up in the air.
Joe Williams is another on the sidelines with injury, along with long-term absentee Luke McNally, and they were joined by Josh Stokes, who went off after 15 minutes of the Fulham match.
Mohamed Belloumi returned for Hull after a nine-month absence against Blackburn last weekend, however, he was only given 10 minutes of action as a substitute as he looks to ease his way back to full match fitness. The Algerian is once again expected to feature from the bench in Bristol.
New signing Enis Destan could be set to make his Hull debut. The 23-year-old joined earlier this summer but has been in the treatment room until now and is likely to be involved this weekend. Eliot Matazo, Liam Miller and Semi Ajyai are all still unavailable for the Tigers.

The stats
One point and six places separate the sides in ninth and 15th in the early Championship standings, with neither team showing much consistency so far.
Bristol City have taken one win and two draws from their three league matches, while Hull’s record stands at a win, a draw and a defeat. Victory for either side would give their season a more positive look.
The Robins look solid at the back, conceding only twice, compared with the five goals Hull have allowed. Going forward, Bristol City have scored five, whereas all three of Hull’s goals came in their 3-2 win over Oxford.

Prediction
After the positivity of their victory against Oxford, Hull were quickly brought back down to earth with a heavy 3-0 home defeat to Blackburn.
A trip to Bristol City looks like another tough assignment for Sergej Jakirovic’s side.
City were unfortunate not to take all three points against Derby, conceding a late equaliser, but the Robins should have too much quality for their visitors this weekend.
Hull’s defence has been breached eight times in their last three matches in all competitions, and Bristol City have the firepower to capitalise. A home win with over 2.5 goals appeals.
