Nottingham are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at Derby County awaits in three days.

Bristol City form and stats

The visitors are W8-D5-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Championship.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Championship home defeat versus Sheffield Wednesday with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Bristol manager L. Johnson faced defeat when travelling to Blackburn Rovers and losing 1-3.

After this away game Bristol return home for a Championship game against Cardiff City. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Bristol have scored 27 goals in 20 league games away. As opposed to that, Bristol have seen the ball go into their own net 29 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Bristol City - Nottingham 0-0 earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for Nottingham, three draws and six wins for Bristol City. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
