Bristol City and Aston Villa will face each other in the Championship this weekend.
Ian Holloway
Former Queens Park Rangers and Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway has told Sky Sports that Aston Villa will fail to win this weekend.
Villa will take on Bristol City away from home in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Holloway has predicted the game at the Ashton Gate Stadium to end in a 1-1 draw.

“What a game, I would love to go to this one!” Holloway told Sky Sports. “The whole town is buzzing. Rovers are buzzing, City are buzzing with their new stadium and the giants of Aston Villa are coming down.
“Bristol City faced Newcastle last week and only lost 1-0 so I think they could get a draw this time.”
A footnote added: “OLLIE PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bet odds 9/2).”

City will head into the match at the Ashton Gate Stadium on the back of a 2-1 victory over Scunthorpe United away from home in the second round of the EFL Cup.
The win at Glanford Park saw Lee Johnson’s side bounce back from a 1-0 home defeat to Newcastle United in the Championship.
The Robins have made a decent start to the league season and find themselves 11th in the table at the moment.
Villa have started to show their strength and will head into the match against City as favourites.
Roberto Di Matteo’s side played out a goalless draw with promotion rivals Derby County away from home at the iPro Stadium in the Championship last weekend.
The Villans should be able to pick up all three points from this afternoon’s match, but they should try not concede in the first half.
