Preview

Bristol City square off with Preston NE in the Championship of England action on January 4. The match is set to start at 15:00 UTC.

Fans are eager for the showdown as the upcoming meeting sees Bristol City and Preston NE square off once more, 3 months after their previous Championship encounter which ended in a draw 0-0. Bristol City come into this match following a defeat to Coventry last Saturday, looking to bounce back with a stronger performance, although they have been unable to secure a victory in their past three games. Before facing Preston NE, they will face Portsmouth, Millwall, West Bromwich Albion and Middlesbrough in Championship, all of which will test their form and squad depth before facing Preston NE. If they want to stop their recent slide, defensive solidity must be the focus, particularly since their defense has shown cracks, conceding goals in their last three matches in a row.

Preston NE's most recent outing, unlike their opponents, ended in a victory against Oxford United, setting a positive tone ahead of this match, stretching their unbeaten streak to five matches. Despite this, their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have been conceding goals for eight consecutive matches now. Ahead of their clash with Bristol City, Preston NE must first take on Sheffield Wednesday, Wrexham, Stoke City and Norwich City in Championship, fixtures that are likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Bristol City.
