Best Tip: Southampton to win

As training goes on this week and the Southampton players prepare themselves for this game, the bookies have predicted success for them. The odds and our pre-match statistics below also point that way, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) information we take advantage of in our predictive algorithms. The St. Mary's Stadium has rarely been a successful away day for Bristol C in the past, and we expect more of the same come Tuesday evening. A win / draw / win home win is the bet.
