Match Preview:
Bristol City missed out on promotion via the playoffs in 2024-25 under Liam Manning, but they are pushing for another chance at reaching the top flight with Gerhard Struber at the helm.

The former Red Bull Salzburg head coach took charge in the summer, and has overseen four wins, four draws and two defeats in the Championship so far.

On Saturday, the Robins bounced back from their 2-1 defeat against Queens Park Rangers by earning all three points in a 1-0 victory on the road to Norwich City, the team that Manning now manages.

That triumph has Struber's side seventh in the table, where their tally of 16 points puts them just one point shy of sixth-placed Millwall, fifth-placed West Bromwich Albion and fourth-placed Leicester City.

Meanwhile, it would be fair to say that Will Still has made Southampton into a resilient team since taking over after their relegation from the Premier League, but an excessive number of draws has stifled their ambitions.

Most recently, the Saints followed up their 1-1 stalemate with Derby County prior to the international break with another draw, this time a 0-0 against Swansea City at the weekend.

That latest tie was Still's men's sixth of the campaign, and placed them 16th in the second tier with 12 points, an equal five above the relegation zone and five behind the playoff spots.

Dropping two points on Saturday also means that Southampton have won just one of their last eight fixtures across all competitions, drawing four and losing two.

Match Prediction:
Bristol City may be on the cusp of the playoff spots, but their recent record at Ashton Gate has been poor, with one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five home games. Southampton have struggled for wins in 2025-26, but considering that they have scored in every away game this season, they could take all three points on Tuesday.
