Bristol City's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the team experiencing both highs and lows in their Championship campaign.

Despite these setbacks, Bristol City have been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their last six games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in the majority of matches, suggesting they remain an entertaining side to watch.

Preston

Preston North End find themselves in a precarious position, currently sitting 20th in the Championship table with 49 points from 45 games. The Lilywhites are enduring a dismal run of form, having failed to secure a victory in their last eight matches. Their recent performances have been particularly concerning, with four consecutive defeats following two draws. Preston's defensive frailties are evident, as they have conceded in each of their last 11 games and have shipped an average of 1.83 goals per game in their last six outings. Despite their struggles, the team have managed to find the back of the net consistently, with both teams scoring in all of their recent matches.

Recent home/away form

Bristol City

Bristol City have been in excellent form at home, demonstrating a remarkable consistency in their recent fixtures. The Robins are currently on an impressive five-match winning streak at Ashton Gate, with all victories coming by a narrow 2-1 margin. This run has significantly boosted their league position, placing them fifth in the Championship. Notably, Bristol City have shown a knack for high-scoring encounters, with 83% of their last six home games featuring over 2.5 goals. The team's attacking prowess is evident, having scored in every match and averaging 1.83 goals per game. However, their defence has been somewhat porous, conceding in all six games and failing to keep a clean sheet. The consistency in scorelines is particularly striking, with five out of six matches ending 2-1 in Bristol City's favour, showcasing their ability to edge out opponents in tight contests.

Preston

Preston North End's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the Lilywhites currently enduring a concerning run of five consecutive defeats on the road. Their last six away fixtures have yielded just one point from a possible 18, with a solitary draw against Sunderland breaking up an otherwise dismal sequence of results. Preston have struggled to find the back of the net away from home, scoring only four goals in these six matches, while their defence has been equally troublesome, conceding 10 goals and failing to keep a single clean sheet. The team's goal difference of -6 over this period highlights their difficulties at both ends of the pitch. Despite the low-scoring nature of Preston's performances, both teams have managed to score in two-thirds of these away games, suggesting that while Preston are struggling, they are at least offering some threat going forward. However, with an average of just 0.67 goals scored per game compared to 1.67 conceded, Preston's away form is a significant factor in their current 20th position in the Championship table.
