The race for the final playoff seat heats up on Tuesday as Bristol City take on West Bromwich Albion in a pressure-filled contest at Ashton Gate.

First-half strikes from Ross McCrorie and Nahki Wells gave Bristol City the platform they needed to climb into the Championship playoff positions with just five rounds remaining, as they edged out a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Watford in front of their home supporters.

In contrast, West Bromwich Albion's hopes of sneaking into the top six in England's second tier took a hit after a frustrating 1-0 home loss to Sunderland, despite dominating the flow of the game and creating the more threatening chances in front of goal.

Bristol City vs West Bromwich Albion Betting Tips : BRISTOL CITY TO WIN

With a direct clash deciding the last playoff position, it’s tough to call a winner, yet the team from Ashton Gate seems to possess greater belief and intensity, giving them a solid chance to come away with a hard-earned trio of points. Eager to stay within the top six, the Robins will lean heavily on their home-ground advantage, having claimed 11 of their 15 wins this season on familiar turf, with their 39-point haul ranking them as the fifth-strongest home side in the Championship. Moreover, Bristol City have been particularly fascinating of late and will now look to make it a fifth win in their last six home outings against a WBA side who have fallen out of rhythm at the most inconvenient moment of the season, as their disappointing weekend setback to the Black Cats stretched their winless run to four Championship matches (D2 L2). The chances of re-entering the playoff hunt in the final stretch of the season appear slim, as the Baggies' away struggles continue to haunt them, with no road wins since their 2-1 thumping of Hull City back in November 24, a stretch that now spans 12 trips without a victory (D6 L6). On a roll in front of their home supporters, Bristol City should have enough in the tank to protect their sixth-place spot by running out victorious from Tuesday's high-intensity clash and deepening the WBA's travel turmoil.
