Bristol City vs Queens Park Rangers prediction, preview, team news and more

Bristol City host Queens Park Rangers at the Ashton Gate Stadium this Saturday in a Championship clash.

With seven defeats from their last nine games, the Robins are languishing 12th in the league table.

Having once flirted with a playoff spot, a run of six consecutive defeats between January and February knocked the wind out of their sails.

Dean Holden was given the boot and Nigel Pearson arrived. Pearson made a promising start to his tenure as manager with back-to-back away wins against Middlesbrough and Swansea City.

However, the south-coast side were brought down to earth by playoff hopefuls Bournemouth, who beat them 2-1 at home in midweek.

Things are much worse in the opposite camp, with the Superhoops once again struggling to win.

At one point, they appeared favorites to go down this season. They won only four of the opening 22 games and were languishing second from bottom.

But a run of six wins from seven games lifted them back to safety. However, they're winless in three consecutive games, dropping from 13th down to 17th in the standings.

Bristol City vs Queens Park Rangers Head-To-Head

In 92 meetings between the sides, the spoils are closely shared, with Queens Park Rangers winning on 34 occasions and losing to Bristol in 33 games.

That includes a defeat in their last three games in a row and six from the last seven, as the Robins have recently dominated this fixture.
