  • Recommended bet: Southampton to win and both teams to score

Southampton have hit their stride at an important stage of the season and they will take their impressive form into Tuesday's home clash with Bristol City.

Saints struggled to adapt to life back in the Championship following relegation from the Premier League last season but the promotion of Tonda Eckert to head coach has seen them turn a significant corner.

Currently up in fourth place, with just a point between them and second-place Ipswich Town, Southampton will be eager to keep their foot on the gas as they prepare to host an inconsistent Bristol City side at St Mary's.

Team news

Southampton have picked up no fresh injury concerns following their 2-1 victory at Swansea City at the weekend.

Injuries have been kind to the south-coast outfit in recent weeks, with only Mads Roerslev on the sidelines ahead of Tuesday's game.

In contrast, injuries have been unkind to Bristol City throughout much of the campaign.

Rob Dickie, Rob Atkinson, George Tanner and Luke McNally are all set to miss Tuesday's trip to St Mary's, while Max Bird is also a doubt after a recent knock.

The stats

Southampton are on a tremendous run, going unbeaten in their last 16 games, recording 13 wins in that time.

The Saints are unbeaten in their last 10 home games, with their last defeat at St Mary's coming back on January 17 against Hull City.

Bristol City have won just three of their last 10 away games in the Championship, which has left them 11 points off the play-off places going into this week's matches.

Prediction

Bristol City earned a 3-1 win over Southampton at Ashton Gate when these sides met earlier this season but much has changed since the reverse encounter back in October.

Eckert, who took over from Will Still back in November, has the Saints purring at the moment and they are backed to continue their six-game winning streak at home when they host the Robins this week.

Southampton to win and both teams to score would have landed in four of their last five games in all competitions.

That trend is backed to continue on Tuesday against a Bristol City outfit who have been unable to produce the level of consistency required to challenge for the top six this season.
