Action continues in round 35 of the EFL Championship as Bristol City and Cardiff City square off at the Ashton Gate Stadium on Saturday (March 2).
The Bluebirds secured a 2-0 victory in October’s reverse as they seek a first double over Bristol since the 2016-17 campaign. The hosts continue to struggle, as they fell to a 2-1 defeat to 10-man Sheffield Wednesday at the Hillsborough Stadium on Saturday.
Liam Manning’s men have won just twice in 10 Championship games, losing five, since a 4-1 victory over Watford on Boxing Day. Bristol have won one of their last five league games at the Ashton Gate Stadium this year.
Meanwhile, Cardiff picked up their first home win since the turn of the year when they edged out Stoke City 2-1 at the Cardiff City Stadium at the weekend.
Before that, the Bluebirds were on a four-game winless run, losing three games before a goalless draw with Blackburn Rovers on February 20. With 44 points from 34 games, Cardiff are 14th in the Championship, level on points with Watford, Middlesbrough and Britol.
