Pick of the stats: Bristol City v Sheffield Wednesday
- Published
Bristol City will be favourites to end a three-match winless streak in the Championship when they host bottom side Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday (15:00 GMT).
Wednesday's only league win of the season so far did come on the road but it was back in September when they won 2-0 at Portsmouth.
Since that day they have taken only seven points from a possible 63.
Bristol City will be looking to complete just a third ever league double over Wednesday following the 1971-72 and 2007-08 campaigns after winning the reverse fixture 3-0 back in September last year.
Wednesday have failed to score in any of their past three away league games against Bristol City, never before have the Owls failed to score in four in succession.
Bristol City have won each of their past two league games against the two teams from Sheffield (United and Wednesday) and will be looking to win three in a season against them for just the second time after doing so in the 2007-08 campaign.
Bristol City have failed to score in each of their past three league games, last having a longer run without a goal in February 2021 (4 games).
Wednesday are winless in their past 21 league games, their longest ever run (D7 L14). It is also the fourth longest run without a win in a single second tier campaign after Cambridge United (31 in 1983-84), Barnsley (23 in 1952-53) and Darwen (27 in 1898-99).
