Bristol City, Recent FormBristol City will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their home fixture against Norwich City. During that encounter they had 35% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 1 of their 15 shots on goal.
Manager Nigel Pearson will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. Pearson will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home matches.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Mark Sykes will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Bristol City's last 6 league games.
Wigan Athletic, Recent FormWigan Athletic will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Huddersfield Town. They achieved 53% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Huddersfield Town's tally of 5 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Shaun Maloney will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 4 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 11 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games. With goals in 12 of their away games this season, it's easy to see why their travelling support will be optimistic of success on the road.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 9 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Will Keane is the man of the moment at Wigan Athletic right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
In the past 6 away matches at Bristol City in the league, The Latics have consistently found the net, scoring at least 1 goal in each of those encounters.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Ashton Gate Stadium in the league, but Bristol City will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings there.
Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ayman Benarous (Cruciate ligament), Tommy Conway (Hamstring) and Kal Naismith (Calf) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Jason Kerr (Cruciate ligament) and Omar Rekik (Knock) both unavailable and Martin Kelly (Knee) being out for the rest of the season, Wigan manager Shaun Maloney will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
