Bristol City, Recent FormBristol City will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 4-2 home win against Birmingham City. They came away from that fixture with 54% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Birmingham City managed 14 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Nigel Pearson will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. With no goals in 3 of their last 6 matches at home, they are showing signs of a problem finding the net at their home ground. 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.
With 3 defeats and just 1 win from their last 6 home league games at Ashton Gate Stadium, it's clear they are not having a good run of home form at the moment.
Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormLast time out Rotherham United inflicted an embarrassing 4-0 away defeat on Blackburn Rovers. Jon Dahl Tomasson will expect an immediate reaction from his players in this match. In that game they recorded 77 of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 8 shots on goal.
Having lost 12 goals in their past 6 matches, Dahl Tomasson will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 6 goals they scored. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 2-3 win for Bristol City.
In their previous 3 encounters with Bristol City, Rovers have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
Blackburn have lost the last 2 times they've faced Bristol City in the league and have failed to win in their last 5 encounters.
Ben Brereton Díaz has scored in each of Blackburn's last league game against Bristol City.
Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ayman Benarous (Cruciate ligament), Tommy Conway (Hamstring), Tomáš Kalas (Calf) and Andreas Weimann (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Sam Barnes (Knee) and Callum Brittain (Medial Collateral Ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Jon Dahl Tomasson will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
