Blackburn Rovers 3-0 Bristol City

Current streaks

Recent form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have shown impressive form recently, sitting in 5th position with 8 points from 4 league games. Their last 6 matches across all competitions have been high-scoring affairs, with an average of 4.17 total goals per game and both teams scoring in 100% of these fixtures. Notably, Rovers have been prolific in attack, netting 16 goals in 6 games (2.67 per game), including two standout performances: a 6-1 thrashing of Stockport County in the League Cup and a 4-2 victory over Derby County in the Championship. However, their defense has been somewhat leaky, conceding in every match and allowing 1.5 goals per game. The team's attacking prowess is further highlighted by the fact that 83% of their recent games have seen over 2.5 goals scored.

Bristol City

Bristol City's recent form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last six matches across all competitions. Their most notable game was a high-scoring 4-3 victory against Millwall in the Championship, which stands out as their only win and highest-scoring match in this period. Defensively, the team has struggled, conceding 9 goals in 6 games and keeping only one clean sheet. Their goal difference of -3 and the fact that they've conceded more goals than they've scored (6 goals for, 9 against) indicate defensive vulnerabilities. Interestingly, despite being in 14th position in the league, two-thirds of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards lower-scoring games despite the occasional high-scoring outlier.

Recent home/away form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have shown a strong home form recently, winning three consecutive matches before their most recent League Cup defeat. Their offensive prowess is evident, with an impressive 11 goals scored in their last 6 home games, averaging 1.83 goals per game. Notably, their 4-2 victory over Derby County stands out as a high-scoring encounter. The team's games tend to be exciting for spectators, with 83% of their recent home matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 67% of the games. Despite conceding in most matches, Blackburn managed two clean sheets in this period. Their overall goal difference of +3 and their current 5th position in the league with 8 points from 4 games suggest they are performing well at home in the Championship.

Bristol City

Bristol City's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six games. The team has struggled defensively, conceding 9 goals in these matches, including a heavy 4-0 defeat to Stoke City and a 3-0 loss to Derby County in their most recent away game. However, they've shown offensive capability, scoring 7 goals and keeping two clean sheets in friendly matches against lower-tier opponents. Their Championship form has been inconsistent, with their last four away league games resulting in two draws and two losses. The team's goal difference of -2 and their average of 1.17 goals scored per game suggest they're finding it challenging to outscore opponents on the road, particularly in competitive fixtures.
