Current streaks

Recent form

Bristol City

Bristol City have shown impressive form in recent weeks, currently sitting in 5th position in the Championship with 64 points from 42 games. The Robins have been particularly strong at home, winning their last three matches at Ashton Gate, including victories against West Brom and Watford. Their away form has been somewhat mixed, with a draw against Queens Park Rangers and a narrow loss to Burnley in their last two away fixtures. Despite not keeping a clean sheet in their last seven games, Bristol City have been consistent in finding the back of the net, scoring in five of their last six matches. The team's ability to win close encounters is evident, with four of their last six games ending with a one-goal margin. Notably, both teams have scored in 83% of these matches, suggesting exciting, competitive fixtures for the fans.

Sunderland

Sunderland's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with the team struggling to find the back of the net despite their lofty league position. The Black Cats have managed just three goals in their last six matches, with half of those games ending in clean sheets. Their defensive record has been relatively solid, conceding only five goals during this period, including a 3-0 defeat to Coventry City which stands out as their heaviest loss. Sunderland's inability to score more than one goal in a single game during this run is a concern, especially considering their promotion aspirations. However, their defensive resilience is evident in the fact that 83% of their recent matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting they are adept at keeping games tight. Despite their mixed results, Sunderland remain in a strong position in the Championship table, sitting fourth with 76 points from 42 games.

This run of form has undoubtedly contributed to their current 5th position in the Championship, as they continue to push for promotion.
