Bristol City form and stats

Overall Championship stats at home this season for Bristol City are 7-3-12 (wins-draw-losses). With nine home Championship games in a row without a win, the Bristol fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Huddersfield Town game long ago, can be stopped today. Bristol City has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager N. Pearson and the players.

Bristol faced defeat in their previous match, away at Millwall (1-4). Preceding that match was a defeat to Luton Town (2-3).

Max O'Leary had a busy but productive day in the Millwall match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Bristol City here at Ashton Gate Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (17 from 22 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 27 goals have been conceded.
