History of the Bristol City v Norwich City fixture

Bristol City prepare to entertain Norwich City at Ashton Gate Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 13 of the 30 previous games, with the Robins winning just 12.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ashton Gate Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2008, the Robins carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Championship match.
