Bristol City vs Wolverhampton pits a stuttering home side against one of the Championship's form teams, and Wolves head to Ashton Gate as 6/5 favourites with Coral.
Bristol City arrive off a late comeback win at Bolton that ended a four-match winless run. Michael Skubala will want that spark to carry over, because home form has been poor.
Wolves are flying by comparison, with 10 points from the last 12 available. Cesar Peixoto's side cruised past Cardiff at Molineux at the weekend, two goals up inside 15 minutes.
History favours the visitors too. Wolves have won their last three away matches against Bristol City in all competitions, and lead the previous meetings by four wins to one, with one draw.
Bristol City vs Wolverhampton Form
That late turnaround at Bolton was a welcome jolt, but the bigger picture is patchy. Bristol City's win record reads just 4 from their previous 10 against all opponents, and Ashton Gate has been a soft touch, with four defeats from their opening six home league games. Sam Bell and Scott Twine at least proved the bench can bite.
Wolves have 5 wins to show from their previous 10 against all opponents, yet the recent trend is sharper than that suggests. Every goal in the Cardiff win was a header, from Fer López, Adam Armstrong and Ladislav Krejčí, and López has a goal or assist in each of his three most recent Championship appearances. Armstrong remains the main threat.

Bristol City
The main talking point in the Bristol City vs Wolverhampton lineups is on the home side, where Elijah Adebayo and Noah Eile will both be checked before kick-off and Rob Dickie remains out. Lorent Tolaj came through a knock to start against Bolton, and Michael Skubala could name an unchanged XI in a probable 3-5-2 with Jason Knight in the engine room.
Wolverhampton
Wolves will assess Jordan James after he picked up an injury against Cardiff, and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is set to replace him. Raúl Jiménez is a real loss, with a goal or assist in 4 of his previous 6 Championship appearances, so Adam Armstrong leads the line in a probable 4-3-3.

Bristol City vs Wolverhampton Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Wolves take the points in an open game. The projections have the visitors scoring 1.47 goals to City's 1.09, and the implied probability of an away win sits at around 46%. City's set pieces will ask questions, but Wolves carry more quality in the final third, and that shapes our Bristol City vs Wolverhampton best bets.
Best Bets
Wolverhampton to win at Ashton Gate in the Win Market. Wolves are the better side in most departments, and their knack for carving teams open with through balls lines up nicely against a City defence that struggles with counter attacks. With Adam Armstrong in form and City winning only one of the previous meetings, backing the visitors makes sense.
Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The projections put this fixture at 2.56 total goals, nudging just over the line. Six of Bristol City's last seven meetings with Wolves in all competitions have also produced over 2.5 goals, and both sides take a lot of shots, although the implied probability sits slightly below the Under, so this is the lower-confidence of our two picks.
Bristol City vs Wolverhampton Bet Builder
Our Bristol City vs Wolverhampton bet builder tips lean on individual trends: a Joe Williams card, Lorent Tolaj shots, an Adam Armstrong shot on target and Wolves picking up cards.
Joe Williams to be shown a card. The City midfielder has gone into the book three times across his past four Championship appearances, and he will spend the evening chasing a possession-heavy Wolves midfield.
Lorent Tolaj over 1.5 shots. The striker has managed 2+ attempts in nine of his previous ten league games in the Championship, and City are a side who cross often and shoot plenty.
Adam Armstrong over 0.5 shots on target. He has hit the target at least once in every one of his four most recent Championship games, and leads the line with Raúl Jiménez sidelined.
Over 2.5 total away team cards. This leg has landed in 3 of the last 3 matches, and avoiding fouls in dangerous areas is a Wolves weak spot that City's direct style should test.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 24/1 and is as short as 12/1 elsewhere.

Bristol City vs Wolverhampton Talking Points
City's best route back into this is dead balls. Attacking set pieces is their standout strength and defending them is one of Wolves' weak spots, so expect plenty of long balls and crosses into the box. The flip side is that City are vulnerable on the counter, and Wolves have won three of their six away league fixtures in the Championship. Michael Skubala credited squad depth for the turnaround at Bolton, but Bristol City at 5/2 with AK Bets looks a fair reflection of a side with such a narrow route to goal.
