An earlier 3-0 home win over Wigan Athletic on the opening day of this new Championship season means that Preston North End possess an impressive 100% record at Deepdale having won all 4 of their home matches to date.
The bigger picture tells us that Preston have suffered just 2 defeats out of their last 15 matches on home turf which were to last season’s high-fliers, Sheffield United and Leeds United, while their record at home against Saturday’s visitors, Bristol City, is a pretty solid one as the hosts are unbeaten in their last 6 meetings at home against the west country outfit.
Onto Bristol City then, and Lee Johnson’s side are once again amongst the early challengers for a play-off spot as the visitors also bring a promising unbeaten run of matches into this clash at Deepdale on Saturday.
Following an opening day 3-1 defeat at home to Leeds United, Bristol City have embarked upon a 7-match unbeaten sequence as the visitors have responded in impressive fashion, with wins so far this season against QPR, Derby County, Hull City and Stoke City - the latter three all coming away from home.
With just 3 defeats from their last 18 matches on their travels in the Championship, Bristol City are a hard team to beat on their travels, but goals have also followed where they’re concerned as 12 of Bristol City’s last 18 away matches have also seen both teams score.
Preston have also scored in 11 of their last 15 matches at Deepdale too, and with the hosts possessing the likes of midfielder Johnson (4 goals) and forward Maguire (3 goals) while Bristol City have attacking personnel such as forwards Afobe (3 goals) and Weimann (2 goals), we could well see both teams score in this clash too.
In addition, 7 of the last 9 meetings between these two teams have resulted in both teams scoring and this trend could continue here.
