Pick of the stats: Bristol City v Watford
- Published
Bristol City will hope to return to winning ways when Watford visit Ashton Gate on Friday night (20:00 BST).
The Robins' three-game winning run came to an end at Southampton last Saturday and they were then beaten at home by Lincoln City on Tuesday.
Watford are one of seven Championship sides yet to win away so far this season.
Bristol City have won just two of their past 10 Championship meetings with Watford (D4 L4), and could lose back-to-back league games against the Hornets for the first time since September 2010.
After their 2-1 win in this exact fixture last season, Watford could enjoy back-to-back league wins away to Bristol City for just the third time in their history, after October 1947 and March 2012.
Bristol City have lost six of their past nine league games at Ashton Gate (W3), while overall they could lose three league matches in a row for only the second time since the start of 2025 (March 2026 previously).
Watford have lost seven of their past eight away games in the Championship (D1), including both of their past two without scoring.
Bristol City's Rio Cardines leads the Championship this season for assists (five) and chances created (24), while only Jarrod Bowen (2.9) has a higher expected assists total than his 2.4.
