Sunderland, Recent FormMike Dodds will have some work to do building up his players after their 5-1 home thrashing at the hands of Blackburn Rovers. In that game they had 55% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Blackburn Rovers who had 13 attempts and 7 on target.
It's fair to say that Dodds will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 11 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Bristol City, Recent FormBristol City will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their away outing against Plymouth Argyle. Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Plymouth Argyle had 12 shots on goal with 2 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 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. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Bristol City recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
Nahki Wells has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Sunderland.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Sunderland, losing 1-0 to Bristol City.
Goals should be on the cards for The Robins in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Sunderland in their last 5 meetings together.
In the league, Bristol City have been unbeaten in the last 3 times they have visited Sunderland at Stadium of Light.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Sunderland manager Mike Dodds with Daniel Ballard (Hamstring), Dennis Cirkin (Hamstring), Corry Evans (Cruciate ligament), Timothée Pembélé (Cruciate ligament), Nazariy Rusyn (Calf) and Jenson Seelt (Knee surgery) all unavailable for selection, and Niall Huggins (Knee surgery) out for the rest of the season.
Liam Manning has a number of injury concerns in his Bristol City squad to contend with: Rob Atkinson (Cruciate ligament), Ayman Benarous (Cruciate ligament), Taylor Gardner-Hickman (Calf) and Kal Naismith (Calf)
