Preston North End, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Sunderland will have left the Preston North End squad feeling a little deflated. During that encounter they had 54% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 7 shots on goal.
Manager Ryan Lowe will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 7 goals they managed at the other end. Playing at home, they've conceded a goal in each of their last 17 games.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at Deepdale, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games.
Bristol City, Recent FormThe Bristol City players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Millwall recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 54%, while racking up 5 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target. Millwall had 11 shots on goal with 2 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Bristol City, Mark Sykes will be looking to add more goals against Preston North End in this match.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Robins defence has struggled at Deepdale, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 10 visits.
Bristol City have certainly shown themselves to be resilient opponents against Preston in the league, having gone unbeaten against them in their last 6 meetings.
There is only really one injury concern for the Preston manager Ryan Lowe ahead of this clash, with Robbie Brady (Knock) missing out, which gives Lowe a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Liam Manning has a number of injury concerns in his Bristol City squad to contend with: Rob Atkinson (Cruciate ligament), Ayman Benarous (Cruciate ligament), Ross McCrorie (Illness), Kal Naismith (Hamstring) and Haydon Roberts (Ankle)
