Bristol City, Recent FormNigel Pearson will have some work to do building up his players after their 3-0 away thrashing at the hands of Birmingham City. Their share of possession in that meeting was 58%, while racking up 6 shots along the way, 0 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Birmingham City, who had 10 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Pearson will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 7 goals they managed at the other end. They are showing great consistency at Ashton Gate Stadium in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Nahki Wells will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Bristol City.
Preston North End, Recent FormPreston North End will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-2 win in their away outing against Norwich City. During that encounter they recorded 38% of the possession and had 8 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 8 of their 17 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Ryan Lowe will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 5 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 6 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. It's fair to say they have produced a number of good defensive performances away from home, with 5 clean sheets in their last 6 matches on the road. They have proved to be unconvincing up front so far this season, having been unable to hit the back of the net in 8 of their 13 league games.
Their unbeaten run away from home now sits at 7 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Emil Riis Jakobsen will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Preston North End's last 6 league games.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Ashton Gate Stadium, The Lilywhites have been unable to break through the Bristol City defence and find the back of the net.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Bristol City hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings.
Daniel Johnson will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Preston against Bristol City in this one, having netted 3 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Matty James (Groin), Tomáš Kalas (Knee), Timm Klose (Knee) and Kal Naismith (Calf) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Without any real injury worries ahead of this clash, Preston manager Ryan Lowe will be happy to have a full squad to pick from to help execute his game plan.
