Bristol City, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Bristol City players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Leicester City. In that game they had 31% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Leicester City who had 19 attempts and 7 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 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
It's been a mixed run of form for Bristol City recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Stoke City, Recent FormLosing 3-1 home to Hull City won't leave the Stoke City squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. They achieved 50% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Hull City's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Alex Neil will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 4 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 9 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
Ki-Jana Hoever will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Bristol City in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Stoke City.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-2 win for Bristol City.
