Bristol City form and stats

Bristol City have collected 8 points from their Championship home games so far after 2-2-1. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Ashton Gate.

The Bristol City supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Charlton Athletic in Championship and win 2-1. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Luton Town (0-3).

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 twelve games) they have won 8 times, drawn 3 and lost 1.

Bristol City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 5 attempts. On the other hand, Bristol City have conceded 5 goals.

Wigan Athletic form and stats

Wigan Athletic, who have the fewest scored goals (10) in Championship, have only collected 1 point from their away games in the Championship, after 0-1-5 (6 played). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on P. Cook, the Wigan Athletic manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Wigan Athletic, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Derby County (placed 15th). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Nottingham Forest.

We have checked recent matches where Wigan Athletic have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those twelve games were W0-D5-L7.

Goals are few and far between in Wigan Athletic's away league games. Only 3 goals from 6 travels. For Wigan Athletic, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last four meetings between these two teams are: 2 wins for Bristol City, 1 draw and 1 win for Wigan Athletic. Over 2,5 goals: 2 times; under 2,5 goals: 2 games.
