Bristol City form and stats
0-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Bristol City so far this season.
Happy days for Bristol City in their previous game, a fixture away at Swansea City (placed 22nd) that ended with a 2-1 victory. The talented striker Sykes outdid all the other footballers in that fixture and received a match rating of 8.12 out of 10. Sykes scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Preceding that match, a home loss in the Carabao Cup against Norwich City. This is expected to be a close game, with Bristol City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Bristol, as the Championship home game vs Plymouth Argyle is only three days away.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Bristol City at home in the league. 1 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
West Bromwich Albion form and stats

"Man of the match" Thomas-Asante served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
