  • Bristol City have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Bristol City could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a FA Cup game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Sheffield United. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Bristol City form and stats

The visitors are W5-D1-L8 on the road this term. That's in the Championship. It's all red in the travel logs of Bristol, having lost six matches in a row as the visiting team. Three has not been a lucky number for Bristol as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Huddersfield Town match.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Bristol City, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Sheffield United. A 0-2 loss hosting Cardiff City before that.

After this away game Bristol return home for a Championship game against Reading. 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 15 goals in 14 league games away. Bristol City have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.
