Team News/Lineup:
Bristol play with 3-4-1-2 formation under manager Gerhard Struber. They will be forced into 1 change from the last fixture away at Leicester seeing Neto Borges dropping out as he cannot play against his permanent club. They could set up with a front 2 of Emil Riis and Sinclair Armstrong. There is 4 current and ex Boro players within the Bristol City Squad. Them players are: Joe Lumley, Neto Borges, Sam Morsy, Delano Burgzorg.
Potential Lineups:
Boro (4-2-3-1) Brynn, Targett, Malanda, Fry, Brittain, Hackney, Morris, Sarmiento, McGree, Whittaker, Conway
Bristol City (3-4-1-2) Vitek, Eile, Tanner, Pring, McCrorie, Horvat, Knight, Sykes, Twine, Riis, Armstrong
Statistics:📈
There has been 50 meetings between the sides since 1909. Boro only won 9 home fixtures against them. Currently we have not beat them at home since 2021. been 6 years since we won away at Bristol. 3 years since a draw. This fixture hasn’t been the kindest of games for Boro in recent years given the head to head record against the Robins is as follows: 9 home wins, 12 draws, 7 away wins. Boro currently winless in 8 back to back meetings against Bristol home and away.
My thoughts on the game:
I see this been a 1-1 draw. Bristol have 5 championship wins in the last 15 matches, they have scored 0 goals in the last 3 games, they are 7 points from 6th place and in the form table are the 8th best team away from home scoring 48 and conceding 48. Bristol will set up to attack the game and play counter attacking football, they have free kick and set piece specialist Scott Twine in their side with 10 goals, Emil Riis who loves scoring against Boro on 9 goals and big centre forward Sinclair Armstrong on 4 Goals. Boro very shy when it comes to playing at home recently dropping points against Oxford, Leicester and Charlton which could potentially have a huge say in the race for top 2.
