This could be an interesting match as Cardiff City have their presumed home advantage while Bristol City are ahead 4 points in the Championship table.
It's no vacation for neither Cardiff nor Bristol City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Cardiff City form and stats
Cardiff City have collected 5 points from their Championship home games so far after 1-2-2.
Cardiff's previous game was a Championship match also played at home, ending 3-0 versus Barnsley (placed 17th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Queens Park Rangers.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Cardiff have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won three, drawn five and lost four.
The Cardiff City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. On the other hand, Cardiff City have conceded 6 goals.
Bristol City form and stats
3-1-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Bristol City in their Championship matches away.
Two travels in a row for Bristol, whose manager D. Holden could celebrate last time after the Championship win against Huddersfield Town. A loss against Norwich City was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Jamie Paterson came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Huddersfield Town last time out, making the manager D. Holden feel like a tactical genius.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Bristol City in our archives, and the results are: seven wins for Bristol, four draws and two defeats.
Bristol City are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 8 times in 5 away games so far. 5 goals have been conceded by Bristol in these games.
