Cardiff City, Recent FormCardiff City will not be too troubled by their 2-0 away defeat against Norwich City, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. In that game they had 35% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Norwich City who had 13 attempts and 4 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 4 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Sabri Lamouchi will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
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.
Bristol City, Recent FormBristol City will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 home win against Hull City. In that game they recorded 49 % of the possession, with 10 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 10 shots on goal.
Manager Nigel Pearson will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 7 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away games. 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.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 9 games in a row.
Joe Williams has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Cardiff City.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Bristol City that came out on top with a 2-0 win.
Playing at home in the league, Cardiff have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 matches against The Robins. Playing at home, Cardiff have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Bristol City. The Bluebirds have struggled for goals when Bristol City comes to visit Cardiff City Stadium, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
When playing at home, Cardiff have lost the last 3 times they've faced Bristol City in the league and have failed to win any of their last 3 encounters.
With only Ebou Adams (Leg) and Jamilu Collins (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Sabri Lamouchi will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Nigel Pearson has a number of injury concerns in his Bristol City squad to contend with: Rob Atkinson (Cruciate ligament), Ayman Benarous (Cruciate ligament), Tommy Conway (Hamstring), Kal Naismith (Calf) and Kane Wilson (Knee)
