This could be an interesting match as Bristol City have their presumed home advantage while Cardiff City are ahead 6 points in the Championship table.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Bristol and Cardiff City.

Bristol City form and stats

7 victories, 5 draws and 7 defeats. That’s what Bristol City have to build on here at Ashton Gate Stadium in the Championship. It's trouble wherever Bristol City are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Bristol, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

N. Wells was the last player to score a league goal for Bristol City and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Bristol haven't scored in 201 minutes.

The Bristol fans got no joy from their last match, a Championship game also here at Ashton Gate Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Cardiff City (placed 6th). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Nottingham Forest.

The Bristol fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 26 in 19 matches. Bristol have conceded 29 from these games.

Cardiff City form and stats

The visitors are W6-D7-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Championship. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Cardiff, as they have won on their previous two travels.

Cardiff City's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Charlton Athletic that finished 0-0. Preceding that game was the away victory against Preston North End with the score of 3-1.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Blackburn Rovers in just three days.

The visiting Cardiff City have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 29 goals from 20 games. Cardiff City struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 34 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Bristol City - Cardiff City 0-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Bristol, one draw and six wins for Cardiff City. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
