Bristol City, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Blackburn Rovers will have left the Bristol City squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Blackburn Rovers' tally of 13 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Manager Liam Manning will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
It's been mixed fortunes for Bristol City at Ashton Gate Stadium recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 home games.
Sunderland, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over Leeds United in their last league game, Sunderland will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 38%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Leeds United had 12 shots on goal with 4 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
With 4 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Sunderland, Jack Clarke will be looking to add more goals against Bristol City in this match.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
