Comments and predictions for Bristol City vs Wolverhampton: 2-goal difference

Latest Bristol City vs Wolverhampton team information

Bristol City's squad will face a major challenge with the loss of Cameron Pring, Sinclair Armstrong, Joe Williams and Ayman Benarous to fitness issues, while Rob Atkinson has been released and moved to Portsmouth on loan. 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 personnel changes are expected from Manning, but key players such as 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 due to a two-match suspension, while a string of injuries means Toti Gomes (hamstring), Sasa Kalajdzic, Yerson Mosquera, Boubacar Traore and Enso Gonzalez (all knee) are all out. Nelson Semedo (hamstring), Craig Dawson (calf) and Andre (knock) also missed the recent defeat to Forest and will need further assessment before kick-off.

Matt Doherty is a survivor of the Wolves side that beat Bristol City six years ago and could play at right-sided 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 used.

Latest football commentary Bristol City vs Wolverhampton

Bristol City are 8th in the Championship after 26 games, with 9 wins, 10 draws and 7 losses. They have 10 points from their last 4 games. They missed out on a win at the start of the year when they drew 2-2 with Plymouth in injury time, but then beat 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 this form continue. 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 two, drawn one and lost one of their four Premier League games, including a 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest. Former Wolves player Gibbs-White scored the opening goal for the visitors.

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 past 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 1-0 against Bristol City twice in the FA Cup.
