Blackburn Rovers vs. Bristol City Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Blackburn Rovers and Bristol City, taking place on Saturday, 14 September 2024, at Ewood Park in Blackburn.
Blackburn Rovers, Recent Form
It was just a point apiece for Blackburn Rovers and Burnley in their last match, which ended in a 1-1 draw. In that game they had 26% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Burnley who had 15 attempts and 3 on target.
Manager John Eustace will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Ewood Park.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
Bristol City, Recent Form
Bristol City manager Liam Manning will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 3-0 away defeat by Derby County. They came away from that fixture with a 64% share of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Derby County, who managed 19 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
Manning will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 8 goals they managed at the other end. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Blackburn Rovers vs. Bristol City Head to head
Blackburn Rovers will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Bristol City, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 5-0 defeat.
The Robins will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Blackburn having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 6 meetings.
