Bristol City will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 4-0 Championship loss in their previous game against Leeds United.

In that game, Bristol City had 26% possession and 3 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. For their opponents, Leeds United had 23 shots at goal with 12 of them on target. Ao Tanaka (21'), Wilfired Gnonto (55') and Largie Ramazani (82', 94') scored for Leeds United.

It has not been often in recent games where Bristol City have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, Bristol City have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 11 goals along the way. Previous results aside, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend might continue on in this next game.

Ahead of this clash, Bristol City are undefeated in their last 7 league matches at home.

Preston North End

Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Plymouth Argyle in Championship action, Preston North End will be aiming to make amends here.

In that match, Preston North End managed 69% possession and 21 shots at goal with 7 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Preston North End was Emil Riis (90'). For their opponents, Plymouth Argyle had 6 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Mustapha Bundu (14') and Callum Wright (75') scored for Plymouth Argyle.

The stats don’t lie, and Preston North End have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 11 goals in total. At the back, Preston North End have seen their frailties exposed.

Their prior results show that Preston North End:

  • are winless against Bristol City when they've played them away from home in the last 5 league matches. Not good.
  • are without a win away from home in their last 6 league matches.

↔️ Head to head

Inspecting their prior head-to-head meetings dating back to 29/01/2022 shows us that Bristol City have won 3 of these & Preston North End 1, with the tally of draws standing at 2.

An aggregate of 18 goals were produced between them in this period, with 10 from The Robins and 8 for The Lilywhites. The average number of goals per game works out to 3.

The last league contest featuring these clubs was Championship match day 13 on 02/11/2024 which finished with the scoreline of Preston North End 1-3 Bristol City.

In that game, Preston North End managed 59% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Their only player to score was Sam Greenwood (48').

Bristol City had 5 shots at goal with 3 on target. Yu Hirakawa (6'), Nahki Wells (51') and Max Bird (81') scored.

The match was refereed by Tom Nield.

📰 Team News: Bristol City

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the sole fitness concern for the Bristol City boss Liam Manning to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength group. Luke McNally (Cruciate ligament injury) is sidelined.

We are thinking that The Robins look set to use the 3-4-2-1 formation this time and select Max O'Leary, George Tanner, Zak Vyner, Robert Dickie, Yu Hirakawa, Joe Williams, Jason Knight, Ross McCrorie, Scott Twine, Nahki Wells and Max Bird.

ℹ️ Team News: Preston North End

Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom has some current player fitness concerns. Sam Greenwood (muscular problems) and Josh Seary (Knee injury) miss out here.

There’s a good chance that The Lilywhites might make use of a 3-1-4-2 lineup with a starting lineup of David Cornell, Jordan Storey, Liam Lindsay, Lewis Gibson, Kaine Kesler-Hayden, Ryan Ledson, Ben Whiteman, Robert Brady, Andrew Hughes, Milutin Osmajic and Emil Riis Jakobsen.

✨ Prediction

It looks to us that Bristol City should stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

In contrast, Preston North End could well struggle to break down their defence although we do think it’s probable that they will be pulling one back during this clash, too.

We’re therefore expecting to see a comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Bristol City when the full-time whistle blows.
