Comments, predictions Bristol City vs Wolverhampton: 2-goal difference

Latest Bristol City vs Wolverhampton team information

Bristol City's squad will face a major blow with the loss of Cameron Pring, Sinclair Armstrong, Joe Williams and Ayman Benarous to fitness issues, while Rob Atkinson has been released on loan at Portsmouth. Manager Manning is unsure about Rob Dickie's availability as he continues his recovery from illness, but Kal Naismith and Mark Sykes have returned to training and could be used this weekend. Some changes are expected from Manning, but key players Anis Mehmeti, who leads the scoring charts with nine goals, Scott Twine, Jason Knight and Zak Vyner are likely to continue in the starting XI.

Wolves will be without Matheus Cunha, who is serving a two-match suspension. A string of injuries have also seen Toti Gomes (hamstring), Sasa Kalajdzic, Yerson Mosquera, Boubacar Traore and Enso Gonzalez (all knee) ruled out. Nelson Semedo (hamstring), Craig Dawson (calf) and Andre (knock) also missed the recent defeat to Forest and will be assessed ahead of kick-off.

Matt Doherty is the only survivor of the Wolves side that beat Bristol City six years ago and could play at right centre-back or right-back, and it remains to be seen whether new signing Emmanuel Agbadou, who joined for £16.6m from Reims in January, will be given a start.

Latest football commentary Bristol City vs Wolverhampton

Bristol City are eighth in the Championship after 26 games, with nine wins, ten draws and seven defeats. They have picked up 10 points from their last four games. They missed out on a win at the start of the year when they drew 2-2 with Plymouth in stoppage time, but have since beaten Derby County 1-0 at home.

Bristol City are unbeaten in their last five home games, winning four and keeping four clean sheets. Manager Liam Manning will be keen to see his side continue their fine form. The Birds have progressed in four of their last six FA Cup third round ties, including wins over Premier League sides Huddersfield and West Ham.

However, Bristol City are winless in their last three meetings with Wolves and have lost two consecutive home games. The last time they lost more than two consecutive home games against Wolves was between 1929 and 1965.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have a new manager, Vitor Pereira, since December 2024. Under Pereira, Wolves have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their four Premier League games, including a 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest. Former Wolves player Gibbs-White scored the visitors' opening goal.

The defeat leaves Wolves just above the relegation zone and suffering their 12th league defeat of the season. Pereira is still proud of his players' efforts, but will be mindful of the tough schedule ahead. They have the chance to improve their situation in the FA Cup, a competition Wolves have won four times.

Wolves’ recent FA Cup form has been inconsistent, with just five out of the last 10 years having progressed beyond the third round. They reached the quarter-finals last season, but lost 3-2 at home to Coventry City. Wolves will be hopeful of a repeat, having won their two FA Cup ties against Bristol City by the same scoreline.
