Bristol City will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their away fixture against Millwall.  In that game they had 55% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Millwall who had 10 attempts and 2 on target.  

It seems pretty certain that Nigel Pearson will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Ashton Gate Stadium.  

Bristol City will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.

Birmingham City will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 home win against Leeds United.  They achieved 41% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Leeds United's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 1 of which were 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 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.  

Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.  

With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Birmingham City, Lukas Jutkiewicz will be looking to add more goals against Bristol City in this match.
