Bristol City v Sheff Utd

Bristol City vs Sheffield United Preview

Bristol City extended their unbeaten run in the Championship to eight games on the weekend courtesy of an impressive 3-1 win away from home at Preston NE, while Sheffield United made it two wins on the trot on Saturday with a 2-0 win away from home at Blackburn Rovers to lift the Yorkshire club up into third spot in the table.

Bristol City themselves have moved up the table into ninth place thanks to this current solid unbeaten run which includes picking up wins against Oxford United, Middlesbrough and the aforementioned Preston NE, and The Robins' fans will be quietly confident that their side can get something from this upcoming clash against The Blades.

Despite producing a bit of a shaky start to this English second tier campaign which saw Bristol City gain just one win but suffer two defeats within their opening five games which consisted of losses at the hands of Derby County and Blackburn Rovers, Bristol City seem to have steadied the ship under the guidance of manager Liam Manning.

The west country hosts have been a tough side to beat at Ashton Gate in recent times as Bristol City are now unbeaten in each of their last 11 games on home soil.

Sheffield United will be going in search of a third league win on the trot when they make their way down to Bristol for Tuesday night's encounter at Ashton Gate having collected recent wins against Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers, both of which were by 2-0 scorelines.

Chris Wilder's side have produced a promising start to life back in the English second tier following relegation from the Premier League at the end of last season as The Blades have slipped to just two defeats so far in this Championship campaign which came in the form of losses at the hands of Leeds United and Middlesbrough, both of which were away from home.

Nevertheless, an overall record of eight wins, three draws and just two defeats suggest Sheffield United also stand a decent chance of gaining something from this upcoming midweek fixture at Ashton Gate especially as the bigger picture shows The Blades have suffered just three losses in their previous 19 matches overall in the Championship.

In addition, Sheffield United have lost just twice in their last eight outings on the road in the English second tier, keeping four clean sheets while seven of these eight away games have also resulted in Under 2.5 goals.
