7th position in the Championship table for Bristol City so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 15th-placed Sheffield Wednesday visits Ashton Gate Stadium.

Bristol City form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Bristol City have managed 7 wins, 5 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 18 games.

The spoils were shared in Bristol City's previous game, also at home. Visiting Fulham (placed 3rd) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. 1-1 away at Millwall before that.

This is expected to be a close game, with Bristol City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bristol City as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Bristol City has won four of these, drawn four and lost three.

Bristol City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 25 goals in 18 games. Bristol City have conceded 27 from these games.

Sheffield Wednesday form and stats

6-4-9 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Sheffield Wednesday in their Championship matches away.

Sheffield Wednesday play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-5 to Brentford (placed 4th). A loss against Manchester City was the result prior to that, in a FA Cup home game.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Brentford was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Sheffield Wednesday has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 30 goals from 19 games. As opposed to that, Sheffield Wednesday have seen the ball go into their own net 28 times on the road.
