Bristol City vs Wigan Athletic Prediction 6 August 2016

Bristol City host Wigan Athletic at Ashton Gate Stadium on the Sky Bet Championship matchday 1.

Bristol City tend to play attacking, spectacular even reckless football. The Robins have seen over 2 goals scored in 15 of their last 16 matches. It happened in the last game against QPR which did not matter for any of the sides.

Moreover, Bristol City will play at home. This way it’s extremely likely to witness high-scoring football as Lee Johnson’s side love to please their fans with goals and always play extremely attacking football at home ground. Home matches with scores like 4:0, 6:0 or 0:4 isn’t a rare thing for the hosts at all.

The Latics tend to play attacking football as well. There’s no surprise considering the fact Will Grigg plays for Wigan who scored 24 goals last season and 20 ones the year before. Northern Irish forward is expected to show his worth in the Championship and he will be hugely supported by his teammates. Wigan do not like to play defense waiting for the chance on the opposing half.

On top of that, Wigan were among the most high-scoring sides in the League One on the road last season. They were averaging 3.1 goals per game. We should also mention the two sides have seen over 2 goals scored in 3 of their last 4 matchups.

All things considered, we expect two sides with great attacking flair to show high-scoring performance in the first match of the season.
