With their 10 point advantage in the league table, Bristol City fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Hull City.
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 City and Hull City.
Hull City are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
Bristol City form and stats
Overall Championship stats at home this season for Bristol City are 7-5-8 (wins-draw-losses). 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.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 201 minutes without scoring a league goal. N. Wells was the last player to find the net.
Bristol's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Cardiff City (placed 6th). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Nottingham Forest.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Bristol City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost one.
Bristol are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at Middlesbrough awaits in three days.
The Bristol City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 26 in 20 matches. Bristol City have conceded 30 from these games.
Hull City form and stats
Playing away, Hull City have won 5 games, drawn 6 and suffered 9 defeats in the Championship this season.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Hull, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-4 versus West Bromwich Albion (placed 2nd). That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Middlesbrough.
As you can tell from the result, the match against West Bromwich Albion was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? It's a bit worrying for Hull City that their goalkeeper George Long made six saves in the West Bromwich Albion game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
Hull City are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, four draws and eight defeats. From a total of 16 matches.
A new game in only three days for Hull, the Championship home match versus Millwall. Busy days.
Hull have scored 27 goals on their travels this season, from 20 away games in the league. As for defending, Hull rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 37 goals from these away matches.
