After league round 1 it's Bristol City - Sunderland 0-1 in points. Who will prevail in this second Championship game of the season?

This should be an intriguing match with lots of action and excitement as both squads are well revitalized since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's get started!

Bristol City form and stats

The previous season, Bristol City's league stats were 15 wins, 10 draws and 21 losses, results that produced 17th spot in the Championship. Over these 46 matches they scored 62 goals and let in 77. Appearing as the home side in the last season Bristol City delivered 8-8-7 (win-draw-lost) with 33 goals and 29 conceded.

Bristol City faced defeat in their previous match, away at Hull City (1-2). The defeat against Hull City was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored three minutes into stoppage time (by Seri). Weimann, who usually features in attack, was the top player for the side in that game, collecting a rating of 7.84 (out of 10). Weimann scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Huddersfield Town.

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 10 games. Bristol City has won 4 of these, drawn 2 and lost 4.

The manager Pearson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Coventry City in only four days.

Sunderland form and stats

Let's have a look at how Sunderland performed last season in the League One: They landed a 5th position in the league table after playing out 24 victories, 12 draws and 10 defeats. In total they scored 79 and conceded 53 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 9 and lost 6 with 30/34 goals scored/conceded.

Sunderland played 1-1 against Coventry City in their previous match. Midfielder Clarke was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.14. Clarke scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Wycombe Wanderers in the League One.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 5 similar matches played by Sunderland in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Sunderland, 2 draws and 1 defeat.

The schedule is very tough for Sunderland now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Carabao Cup game at Sheffield Wednesday is waiting in only four days.

Head 2 Head
