EFL Championship: Bristol City and Preston North End in Action

As the year 2024 comes to a close, several key matches took place in the English EFL Championship on December 29. Here are some of the notable outcomes and performances from these games.

Bristol City vs Portsmouth

Bristol City hosted Portsmouth at the Ashton Gate Stadium, aiming to end the year on a high note. The Robins were unbeaten in their last three home games, having recently secured a 1-0 victory over Luton Town on Boxing Day, thanks to a goal from Scott Twine. Bristol City have been consistent at home, with four wins and five draws in their 11 Championship home games this season. Portsmouth, however, have struggled away from home, failing to win their last six away matches. Given these trends, Bristol City were predicted to secure a win, and their superior head-to-head record against Portsmouth supported this outlook[2].

Preston North End vs Sheffield Wednesday

At the Deepdale Stadium, Preston North End faced off against Sheffield Wednesday. Preston returned to winning ways on Boxing Day with a 1-0 victory over Hull City, following a 2-1 defeat to Queens Park Rangers earlier in December. Sheffield Wednesday, on the other hand, showed resilience by salvaging a 3-3 draw against Middlesbrough after being three goals down. The Owls have been strong away from home, unbeaten in their last four away matches. The match was anticipated to be a closely contested affair, with both teams likely to cancel each other out, leading to a predicted draw[3].

Other Matches

Other notable matches included Everton vs Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, although this is not part of the EFL Championship, and Middlesbrough vs Burnley, where Middlesbrough extended their unbeaten streak to three games after a 3-3 draw against Sheffield Wednesday in their previous match[5].
