Bristol City v Wigan Athletic at Ashton Gate Stadium on 27th October 2019

Catch Bristol City v Wigan Athletic at Ashton Gate Stadium in this EFL Championship fixture on Sunday 27th October 2019. Kick off is at 3pm.

 

Bristol City only managed 1 point from 6 last season against Wigan last season. Losing 1 nil away in September 2018 and letting Wigan share the points at Ashton Gate in April 2019 through an agonising 93rd minute equaliser. 

 

Having missed out on the playoffs last season despite a very strong start to the season and an impressive FA Cup run, Bristol City are looking to improve and will be hungry to finally secure a Premiership football place.

Bristol City Football Club - The Robins

Bristol City Football Club, nicknamed ‘The Robins’, are currently playing their football in the EFL Championship, the second tier of English football. Their home ground is Ashton Gate Stadium and has recently been rebuilt, giving it a capacity of 27,000.

City go into the 2019/20 season looking to capitalise on an impressive season last year, which saw them pushing for automatic promotion before falling away and finishing in 8th place. With only 12 points gained from a possible 27 in April and May 2019 they'll certainly look for more consistency especially when they need to be producing results at the end of the season. Odds for promotion are 7/1.

BRISTOL CITY FOOTBALL CLUB HISTORY

Founded in 1897, the club achieved their highest league finish of Division One runners up in 1907 and two years later played in their only major cup final, losing 1-0 to Manchester United in the FA Cup. The club last played in the top-flight of English football from 1976 to 1980.

The 2006-07 season saw the club win promotion to the Football League Championship after finishing second in League One. The following season Bristol City narrowly missed out on Premier League football losing to Hull City in the Championship play-off Final. Having been relegated back to League One after the 2012-2013 season when they finished bottom of the table they are now back in The Championship and there's no reason they can't challenge for entry into Premiership football in the 2018/19 season.

The clubs honours include twice being winners of Football League Trophy in 1986 and 2003, the 1934 Welsh Cup and the 1978 Anglo-Scottish Cup when they defeated St. Mirren.
