Birmingham City, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 away defeat by Middlesbrough will have left the Birmingham City squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 54% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Middlesbrough's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. It's clear that with only 1 clean sheet from the last 6 matches at home, John Eustace will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late. They have proved to be unconvincing up front so far this season, having been unable to hit the back of the net in 6 of their 12 league games.
It's been a disappointing spell of home league form lately, having managed to rack up just 1 victory and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches.
Goalscorer Scott Hogan will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Birmingham City.
Bristol City, Recent FormBristol City manager Nigel Pearson will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Coventry City. During that encounter they recorded 63% of the possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 3 of their 10 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. Few teams have managed to keep The Robins away from their goal, having scored in all but 1 of their games this season.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
Nahki Wells will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Bristol City.
