History of the Bournemouth v Bristol City fixture

Bristol City face a trip to Bournemouth at Dean Court on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 43 games played, Robins have recorded 11 wins, and Bournemouth have come away with 19 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in August 2004, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Bournemouth's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. Cherries have conceded a disappointing 10 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Bristol City's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Robins, and 4 goals against.

Bournemouth see themselves just below half way in the Coca Cola League One, showing a record of 2 points from their 2 games played so far, Bristol City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 1 points from 2 matches.
