No payout for Birmingham in their previous match, an away game at Barnsley that ended in defeat 0-1. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Huddersfield Town the opponent.

Bristol City form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Championship travels is 7 wins, 1 draw and 9 defeats. Momentum is building for Bristol in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Championship home defeat versus Queens Park Rangers with 0-2 on the scoreboard. A 1-2 loss hosting AFC Bournemouth before that.

Bristol City are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is seven wins, two draws and six defeats. From a total of 15 matches.

The schedule is very tough for Bristol now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Championship game at Blackburn Rovers is waiting in only four days.

Bristol have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 17 league away games 21 goals have been scored. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Bristol have conceded 28 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
