Bristol City 2-0 Stoke City

Current streaks

Recent form

Bristol City

Bristol City's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with the Robins struggling to find a winning rhythm. They have managed just one victory in their last six matches across all competitions, accompanied by two draws and three defeats. Notably, City have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six outings, conceding at least one goal in each game. The team's goalscoring has also been modest, averaging just one goal per match during this period. Despite their mixed results, Bristol City have been involved in some entertaining fixtures, with 67% of their recent games seeing both teams score. The Championship clash against Sheffield Wednesday was particularly high-scoring, ending in a 2-2 draw. Currently sitting 9th in the league table, the Robins will be keen to improve their defensive record and find more consistency in their performances to climb higher in the standings.

Stoke City

Stoke City have shown mixed form in their recent outings, with their last six matches yielding two wins, three draws, and one loss. The Potters have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly their most recent FA Cup encounter with Cardiff City, which ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw. Despite their 18th position in the league table, Stoke have been relatively consistent in front of goal, scoring an average of 1.5 goals per game over their last six matches. However, their defensive record mirrors this exactly, conceding at the same rate. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of these matches, with over 2.5 goals occurring in 67% of them. While Stoke haven't managed to string together a significant run of wins or losses, they have shown resilience, remaining unbeaten in their last three outings across all competitions.

Recent home/away form

Bristol City

Bristol City have shown mixed form at home recently, with their last six games at Ashton Gate yielding four wins and two losses. The Robins have been particularly stingy in defence, conceding just four goals in these matches and keeping three clean sheets. Their most impressive result came in a 3-0 victory over Portsmouth, which was also their highest-scoring game in this period. Despite their recent loss to Swansea, Bristol City have been generally strong at home, winning three consecutive matches prior to that defeat. Their goal-scoring has been consistent, if not prolific, with an average of 1.33 goals per game, while their defensive record of 0.67 goals conceded per game is particularly noteworthy.

Stoke City

Stoke City's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Potters showing both promise and inconsistency on their travels. Despite their low league position, they have managed to secure two victories in their last six away matches, including a notable FA Cup win against Sunderland. However, their defensive record remains a concern, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game on the road. The team have struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in their last six away fixtures. Interestingly, Stoke City have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, with 50% of their recent away games featuring over 2.5 goals. Their most recent away match, a 2-1 victory against Hull City, suggests a potential upturn in form, but the Potters will need to address their defensive frailties if they hope to climb the Championship table.
