History of the Southampton v Bristol City fixture

Bristol City face a trip to Southampton at St. Marys at tea-time on Saturday, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 12 out of 16 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2008, with Southampton running out comfortable 2 - 0 winners in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Southampton have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 in the wrong end.

Bristol City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Robins have conceded 7 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Southampton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 16 points from 15 matches. Bristol City's 21 points from 15 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
