Bristol City vs Southampton Betting Tips - Southampton to Win

Southampton's relentless pursuit of promotion faces another stern test on Tuesday after a thrilling weekend win against Huddersfield. The Saints showcased their impressive attacking prowess in a relatnelsss display to secure a thrilling 5-3 victory that extends their unbeaten streak to an impressive 22 matches. 

Currently sitting in second place with 64 points, Southampton look well placed to make a quick return to the Premier League. Unbeaten in their last 11 on the road, Russel Martin´s men won six and drew five of those matches while they have won five and drawn one of their six most recent games.

Bristol City come into Tuesday's contest with confidence boosted after securing a a crucial 2-1 win against Middlesbrough in their last outing, breaking a six-match winless streak. Despite sitting in 13th place with 41 points, they find themselves only six points behind the final promotion play-off spot, currently occupied by Sunderland.

Liam Manning´s side have struggled for consistency at home though, with three of their last six matches at Ashton Gate ending in defeat. City also failed to win any of their last three home encounters.

Recent form suggests Southampton should be backed with confidence this week. The visitors have won five and drawn one of their last six league matches, while Bristol City have won just one out of their last six.

Southampton edged Bristol City with a narrow 1-0 win at St. Mary's Stadium when these sides met earlier in the season, and I expect the Saints to score a similar victory on Tuesday.
