Bristol City Preview – Can Robins bounce back?
A surprise 2-0 loss at home to Rotherham United just before the international break would have been a big disappointment to Bristol City and manager Nigel Pearson after picking up some much-needed and welcome wins in the Championship.
Bristol City had previously registered wins against Middlesbrough, Swansea City and Birmingham City all of which were away from home but the host’s form and results continue to elude The Robins at Ashton Gate as Bristol City have lost their last six matches on the trot.
It’s therefore highly risky to back the hosts for a win here but goals as well as home wins have also been in short supply as 14 of Bristol City’s 19 home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals.
Stoke City Preview – Can Stoke win back-to-back?
Stoke City headed into the international break with a 1-0 home win against Derby County but The Potters still find themselves 10 points adrift of 6th placed Reading so it looks likely that the visitors may have to settle for a top half finish at best this season unless they can produce a late surge.
The chances of this happening seem to be slim though as Stoke have managed to win just four out of their last 18 matches in the Championship in another season that has been dominated by too many draws.
In addition, Stoke have failed to win any of their last 11 away matches coming into this clash while their away record of 4-9-6 16/21 is nothing to write home about; however, they too have found goals hard to come by as 13 of Stoke’s 19 away matches have also been under 2.5 goals.
