Sheffield United form and stats

Sheffield United participated in FA Cup the last season, where they reached the quarter-finals.

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Sheffield United have only managed 2 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses from their games here at Bramall Lane.

The Sheffield fans got no joy from their last match, a Premier League game also here at Bramall Lane: A 1-2 defeat against Chelsea. Ahead of that match, Sheffield United won a home game hosting West Bromwich Albion (2-1).

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Sheffield matches with similar probabilities have ended with five wins, zero draws and two defeats (from seven games).

Bristol City form and stats

They also participated in FA Cup last season. This ended in the 3rd round replays.

Playing away, Bristol City have won 5 games, drawn 1 and suffered 8 defeats in the Championship this season. A depressing six defeats in a row for Bristol City in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Queens Park Rangers. Recent form does not give Bristol City much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Sheffield United will be a tough nut to crack.

Bristol failed to get anything from their last game, a Championship home match vs Cardiff City that ended with defeat 0-2. A 2-3 defeat away at Brentford before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Bristol City when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing one and winning one game.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Bristol manager D. Holden as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Watford.

Bristol have scored 15 goals on their travels this season, from 14 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Bristol City have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Sheffield won five, Bristol City won five and zero draws. eight games with over 2,5 goals, two matches with two goals or less.
