Recent home/away form

Bristol City

Bristol City have been in impressive form at home recently, enjoying a four-match unbeaten run at Ashton Gate before their FA Cup defeat to Wolves. The Robins have been particularly strong defensively, keeping four clean sheets in their last six home games and conceding just three goals during this period. Their attacking prowess has also been noteworthy, with a standout 4-0 victory against Plymouth Argyle showcasing their ability to score freely. Bristol City have averaged 1.83 goals per game in their last six home matches, whilst maintaining a solid defensive record with only 0.5 goals conceded per game. The team's recent home performances have contributed significantly to their current 9th position in the Championship, demonstrating their potential as play-off contenders.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have shown mixed form away from home in their recent outings, with a notable trend of low-scoring affairs. The club have managed three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six away matches, with all games featuring under 2.5 goals. Remarkably, Rovers have kept three clean sheets on the road during this period, demonstrating a solid defensive record by conceding only 0.5 goals per game. However, their attacking prowess has been somewhat lacking, scoring just 0.67 goals per game. Interestingly, Blackburn experienced a brief run of two consecutive away wins against Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday in December, both with identical 1-0 scorelines. The lack of high-scoring games and the fact that both teams scored in only 17% of these matches further emphasise Blackburn's recent tendency for tight, low-scoring encounters away from home.
