Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormThe Blackburn Rovers squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 home defeat against Leeds United, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 54%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Leeds United, who had 8 shots on goal with 4 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 9 of their 10 games this season.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at Ewood Park, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games. If they want to get anywhere this season, they'll need to do something very quickly to fix their home form, having lost 6 of the first 10 league games at Ewood Park.
On an individual basis, Sammie Szmodics will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 7 goals in Blackburn Rovers' last 6 league games.
Bristol City, Recent FormBristol City were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Huddersfield Town. In that game they recorded 61 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 6 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
Tommy Conway is the man of the moment at Bristol City right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
In each of the previous 4 matches against The Robins, Blackburn have let in at least one goal. Playing at home, Blackburn have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Bristol City.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams at Ewood Park, Bristol City has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to Blackburn in 3 games.
Bristol City man Nahki Wells will be out for more of the same in front of goal in this match against Blackburn, having bagged 2 goals in the last 3 encounters between these sides at Ewood Park.
