Bristol City will host Coventry City at the Ashton Gate Stadium in round 12 of the EFL Championship on Tuesday (October 4).
The hosts head into the midweek clash on a run of three defeats and will look to arrest their slump in form.
Bristol failed to find their feet, as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday. They have now lost their last three outings, scoring four goals and conceding seven since a 3-2 victory at Blackburn Rovers on September 3.
With 14 points from 11 games, Bristol are 12th in the standings but could rise as high as seventh with all three points on Monday.
Meanwhile, Coventry returned to winning ways last time out, seeing off Middleman 1-0 at home. Before that, they were on an eight-game winless run across competitions, claiming three wins and losing five since a 2-0 pre-season win over Portsmouth in July.
With six points from eight games, Coventry are languishing at the bottom of the standings, albeit with three games in hand.
Bristol City vs Coventry City Head-To-Head
With 25 wins from the last 71 meetings between the sides, Coventry have a slightly superior record in this fixture. Bristol have picked up 24 wins in this period, while 22 games have ended in draws.

Bristol City vs Coventry City Prediction
Buoyed by their victory over Middlesbrough, Coventry will head into Tuesday with renewed confidence as they look to move off the bottom of the standings. However, they face a Bristol team who have won three of their last four home games. Coventry should do just enough to force a share of the spoils.
Prediction: Bristol City 1-1 Coventry City
