History of the Bristol City v Bournemouth fixture

Bristol City prepare to entertain Bournemouth at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, having won 24 and lost only 5 of the 39 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ashton Gate was less than a year ago, in April 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League One match.
