Even though there is still uncertainty about Liam Manning, it is undeniable that he has been making progress since becoming the manager of Bristol City earlier this season. Despite experiencing six narrow defeats in the Championship since the end of November, there seems to be a positive change in the team. They have recently achieved back-to-back victories against Middlesbrough and Southampton, with the latter win ending the latter team's 25-match unbeaten streak. The team's ability to score three goals in the second half sets a high standard for future performances and the team is now only four points behind sixth place in the league. Historically, Bristol City has struggled at home, but having only conceded 18 goals in 16 games at Ashton Gate, there is potential for further improvement. If they can capitalize on the five goals scored against Middlesbrough and Southampton, the team can continue to turn the tide in their favor.
Bristol City Predicted Lineup
O'Leary; Tanner, Vyner, Dickie, Roberts; James, Williams; Mehmeti, Knight, Bell; Conway

At around the same time that Manning joined Bristol City, Marti Cifuentes took charge of QPR. Both teams have shown improvement compared to their previous performances. However, QPR is currently four points behind the 21st position, despite gaining eight points from their last four matches. This puts them at a disadvantage as three teams above them, including their opponents Stoke City, won their midweek games. Unfortunately, QPR lost to Stoke City with a score of 1-0. If QPR cannot bounce back quickly, they are in danger of falling further behind in the relegation battle.
Queens Park Rangers Predicted Lineup
Begovic; Cannon, Cook, Clarke-Salter, Paal; Colback, Hodge; Andersen, Dykes, Chair; Armstrong
Bristol City vs Queens Park Rangers Expert Tip
QPR's confidence is unlikely to be greatly affected by their narrow loss at Stoke in this match. However, on the other hand, Bristol City's confidence is increasing, and we believe that they will manage to win this game by a slim goal margin.
