Bristol City continue their push for the promotion playoffs in the English Championship as they host Norwich City on Friday night. 

The hosts have been in good form lately and are often solid at Ashton Gate. The visitors are unconvincing at the moment and given their poor record on the road, a home win is expected in this one. 

Bristol City Form


Bristol City are coming off a 1-1 draw at second-placed Sheffield United last time out in the Championship, with Mark Sykes netting a late equaliser. That result means Liam Manning's team are now unbeaten in their last six matches in the league.

That run keeps Bristol City in the hunt for the promotion playoffs, sitting seventh in the table, just two points off the top six. Anis Mehmeti has been one of their standout players this season, scoring 12 goals so far, including three in the last three home matches.

Bristol City also boast a solid record at Ashton Gate and are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 home matches, beating promotion chasing Blackburn Rovers and Middlesbrough in that run. They also tend to make fast starts in front of their fans and have scored first in seven of their last 10 Championship home matches. 

Norwich City Form


Norwich City are struggling to find their best form at the moment having picked up just one win from their last seven Championship matches. That poor run has dented their promotion playoff hopes as it leaves them in the bottom half of the table, although they are only seven points off the top six. 

The Canaries travel to Bristol off the back of a 3-2 home defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in midweek. Manager Johannes Thorup will be disappointed with the result as they held a two-goal lead at the break through Borja Sainz and Ante Crnac.

Norwich City have also struggled on their Championship travels and are winless in 12 of their last 14 away matches. They often struggle against promotion chasing sides with back-to-back 2-0 defeats to Sheffield United and Leeds United among their results in that run. 

Head to Head


Norwich City have four wins while Bristol City have been victorious twice in the last seven matches. However, the hosts claimed a 2-0 away victory in the reverse fixture back in November, with Mehmeti netting the opener.

Verdict

Bristol City already won at Norwich City in November and come into this clash with a solid home record. They have won six of their last eight Championship matches and should have the upper hand over the Canaries, who are poor on the road.

The hosts should also maintain their record of scoring first at home while Mehmeti could be set for his 13th Championship goal of the season.
