A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: Championship
Venue: Ashton Gate
Saturday 25th October 2025, 1500hrs (GMT)
Bristol City will be aiming to extend their winning momentum when they welcome Birmingham City to Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon. The Robins head into this fixture on the back of successive victories in the Championship and will be confident of making it three on the spin with home advantage firmly in their favour.
Gerhard Struber’s side appear to have shaken off a four-game winless spell in the second tier, with recent results signalling a return to form. A hard-fought 1-0 win away at Norwich City was followed by an impressive 3-1 home triumph over Southampton in midweek — a result that has lifted the West Country outfit up to 4th place in the Championship table and into the early play-off positions.
Visitors Birmingham City will arrive at Ashton Gate buoyed by a morale-boosting midweek success of their own, having edged out Preston North End 1-0 at Deepdale. That victory was a timely one for Chris Davies’ men, who had previously gone four league games without a win — drawing against Sheffield Wednesday (2-2) and Wrexham (1-1) while also falling to defeats at Coventry City (3-0) and Hull City (3-2).
However, inconsistency remains an issue for the Blues, particularly on their travels. The West Midlands side have suffered three defeats from their six away outings so far this season and will need to tighten up defensively if they are to take anything from this visit to an in-form Bristol City outfit.
The Betting Verdict
Bristol City are gathering momentum and look the more balanced and confident of the two teams, while Birmingham’s patchy away record remains a concern.
The Pick :
Bristol City 2-1 Birmingham City
