Pick of the stats: Bristol City v Preston North End

Bristol City will look to book their place in the play-offs while visitors Preston North End will be scrapping for survival when the two meet on Saturday (12:30 BST) for the final game of the season.

The Robins have missed their past two attempts to secure a shot at promotion, losing to Luton Town and Leeds United, but will be guaranteed a place if they secure victory against North End.

Though Preston will also be desperate for a win too.

They've lost their past four successive games and are winless across their past seven to see them drop from the midtable to a real relegation threat, with only three points a definitive way of remaining in the Championship next season.

  • Bristol City have lost just two of their last 12 league games against Preston North End (W4 D6), scoring 2+ goals in six of those matches.

  • After winning each of their five away league games against Bristol City between 2014 and 2018, Preston North End are since winless in five visits to Ashton Gate to face the Robins (D3 L2).

  • Bristol City have won just one of their nine fixtures played on the final day of a league campaign (D2 L6), a 2-0 success against QPR in May 2023.

  • When playing away from home on the final day of a league campaign, Preston have won just one of their last 13 fixtures (D2 L10) whilst failing to score in eight of those matches.

  • Preston have picked up just 49 points across their 45 league games this season, their lowest tally going into the final game of the season since 2010-11 (39), the last time they were relegated from the Championship.
