Bristol City v Leeds

Bristol City vs Leeds Preview

Bristol City extended their unbeaten run in the Championship to six games overall in midweek when The Robins picked up a point in a 2-2 draw away from home at Stoke City, while Leeds United made it two wins on the trot in the English second tier with a 2-1 home win against Watford, lifting the Yorkshire club up into third place in the table.

Bristol City have produced a solid run of results in the Championship having managed to capture just one win from their opening five games of the new season which consisted of a 4-3 home win against Millwall but also included losses on the road at Derby County and Blackburn Rovers respectively.

Nevertheless, Liam Manning's side have staged a recovery and improved their consistency in recent times, something that has been lacking at the west country outfit for some seasons now; wins collected against Oxford United and Middlesbrough have been complemented by picking up points in four draws as well.

The bigger picture shows Bristol City have suffered just three defeats in their previous 19 games overall in the Championship as the hosts have made themselves a tough side to beat but the Robins will face arguably their biggest test yet this season on Saturday lunchtime.

Leeds United will not only be going in search of a third league win on the trot in the Championship but the Yorkshire club will also be eyeing off a potential move up into top spot, albeit perhaps briefly, when they make their way to Ashton Gate for this lunchtime fixture.

Recent back-to-back wins against Sheffield United and Watford have helped lift the visitors up into early contention for possible automatic promotion and having put together a six-game unbeaten sequence overall, Daniel Farke's side will no doubt fancy their chances of taking the spoils here.

Previous victories gained over Cardiff City and Coventry City will also add to Leeds United's building confidence, as well as the visitors being handed just two defeats within their previous 14 matches in the Championship and picking up seven wins in the process.

Results away from home their Elland Road ground have also been pretty solid as well, as Daniel Farke's side have suffered just two defeats in their last 16 outings on the road in the English second tier whilst collecting eight victories on their travels as well, which could spell trouble for Bristol City on Saturday lunchtime.

Bristol City v Leeds United Verdict

Leeds United have certainly held the upper hand in previous exchanges against Bristol City as the Yorkshire visitors have won eight of the last nine meetings and another three points look set to be making their way back up to Yorkshire in this clash as well.
