Bristol City and West Bromwich clash this Tuesday at Ashton Gate in Matchweek 41 of the EFL Championship.
The Robins have 60 points to their name this season and have ousted their visitors from the play-off spots thanks to 2-1 win against Watford last time out.
The Baggiea have slipped down to 8th position after their 0-1 reverse to Sunderland last weekend and Tony Mowbray's side could badly do with a win to reestablish their play-off credentials.
The last meeting between the two teams ended with the Baggies earning a 2-0 victory.
Ben Mead : It's been labelled as the biggest game of a generation and is probably one of, if not the biggest game in the last decade. A sold-out Ashton Gate and coming off the back of a fantastic win on Saturday, Tuesday night's game is teed up to be one for the ages!
We're coming into the game off the back of three points to a very decent Watford side. We controlled the game for the majority but after Watford pulled a goal back in the 80th minute the final 10/15 minutes were extremely nervy, but we held on for three-points, that moved us up to 6th with just six games to go.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, Scott Twine may miss out again after not being in the squad for Saturday's game due to a small injury. Apart from that, we've got a full squad, hopefully all fully recovered and ready to turn up and hopefully pick up another three points that could make the red side of Bristol start to believe...
Prediction: 2-1
AllAlbionFans: It doesn’t get any easier for us at the moment. After back to back losses it’s a game that realistically we cannot afford to lose at Ashton Gate. A win would do us wonders and we may leave Bristol in 5th, but after no wins in 13 away games this is more hope than expectation. Our star defender Heggem is a doubt, an aging Bartley didn’t play the middle game last time we had three in a week and Holgate missed Saturday. We could be down to the bare bones in defence. Our best player in recent months Isaac Price is still missing as is the best player of the first half of the season, Josh Maja. We made changes on Saturday but continue to have good possession and have plenty of shots, but without any real quality. Anything can happen in the Championship and we have a great record against The Robins. That will need to continue tonight. Prediction: 2-1
