Bristol City form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bristol City so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 4-2-10 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Coventry City with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Midfield player Scott was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.63/10. Scott hit four key passes.

Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Middlesbrough.

Bristol are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, three draws and ten defeats. From a total of 18 matches.

The visiting Bristol City have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 22 goals from 16 games. The Bristol manager Pearson has some worries about the defense as 38 goals have been conceded in these travels.
