A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Analysis:

Crystal Palace despite being 2-1 down from the first leg will aim to reverse the deficit as they will aim to qualify for the playoffs final. After the dramatic first leg defeat Palace will rely on their good form as they have won four out of their last five before the match with Bristol City. They also have a good away form coming into this match so they will hope that will come to their cause here.

As for Bristol City, they will aim to defend their first leg 2-1 win. Boss Gary Johnson comes into this match with a fully fit side and will hope to lead the side to promotion after leading them from the League One last season.

Johnson is boosted with a fully fit squad coming into this match and looks set to continue with the partnership of Lee Trundle and Dele Adebola upfront as Steve Brooker is still out with a hamstring injury.

Midfielder Lee Johnson will have to contend himself with a place on the bench despite coming on late in the first leg as a substitute as Nick Carle is expected to keep his place in the side.

As for the visitors Palace, they will miss the services of striker Jamie Scowcroft who aggravated a hamstring problem after coming on in the first leg as a substitute.

Defender Matt Lawrence is likely to come into this match after coming through with a hernia oeration. Neil Warnock's side will miss the services of midfielder Neil Danns who is out with a groin injury. Meanwhile Paul Ifill and Sean Scannell are pushing for starts in this match and will hope that Warnock selects them in the starting eleven here today.

I will go for Neil Warnock's Crystal Palace and accept the 1/4 ball here

Cheers and good luck,
