Pick of the stats: Bristol City v Southampton
- Published
Southampton will look to take their chances when they make the trip to Bristol City for Tuesday's headline act (20:00 BST).
The Saints squandered multiple opportunities in their goalless encounter with Swansea City on Saturday but will want to be more ruthless in front of the net when they face seventh placed Robins.
The hosts ended a four match winless streak last time out to keep themselves within reach of the top six and a victory here could see them back in the play-off places.
Bristol City have won five of their last six league meetings with Southampton, losing the other 1-0 in November 2023.
Southampton have lost each of their last four league visits to Bristol City, last avoiding defeat via a 1-0 win in December 1979.
Bristol City have lost two of their last three home league games (D1), more than their previous 17 beforehand (W12 D4 L1).
Southampton have earned more points in their last two away league games (4 – W1 D1) than their previous nine beforehand (3 – D3 L6).
Bristol City are unbeaten in their last nine midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) league games (W4 D5) since going down 0-1 to Watford in November 2024.
