Pick of the stats: Bristol City v Watford
- Published
Bristol City host Watford in a game which could have a significant impact on the play-off race on Saturday (15:00 BST).
Liam Manning's men sit eighth but outside the top six on goal difference alone, with fifth-placed Coventry only two points ahead.
A win would take the Robins seven points clear of the ninth-placed Hornets with six games remaining, but defeat would close the gap to just a point in a congested battle for the two final play-off spots.
Bristol City have won just two of their past 11 league games against Watford (D5 L4), a 2-0 home win in January 2013 and a 4-1 away victory in December 2023.
Watford are looking to complete a league double over Bristol City for the first time since the 1998-99 campaign.
Bristol City have won seven of their past nine home league matches (D1 L1) and have only conceded five goals across these games.
Watford scored fewer goals than any other side in the Championship in March (2), despite having the sixth-most shots of any side (64).
Only Middlesbrough's Finn Azaz (77) has created more chances in the Championship this season than Watford's Giorgi Chakvetadze (73).
