Bristol City News and Form – Will the Robins extend unbeaten run to five matches?

Before the international break, Bristol City picked up an excellent 1-0 Severnside derby victory at the Cardiff City Stadium. The Robins became the first team to win in South Wales in the Championship this season, with Josh Brownhills’s second-half thunderbolt strike doing the business in the Welsh capital.

Only leaders West Bromwich Albion have taken more away points than the Robins so far, but Lee Johnson’s men have picked up just three home league wins. However, since losing to Leeds United on the opening weekend, City are unbeaten in six on their own patch, winning three and drawing three.
