Bristol City and Birmingham City are set to face off at Ashton Gate, both eager to maintain their unbeaten records in the Championship. In their previous match, Bristol City secured a last-minute victory against Millwall at The Den. Meanwhile, Birmingham celebrated a memorable day at St Andrew’s, marked by the presence of their new ownership group.

Bristol City clinched their inaugural victory of the Championship season in dramatic fashion against Millwall under Gary Rowett. The winning goal emerged from an unexpected source, as Matty James, in his 75th appearance for the club, scored an acrobatic winner during the 94th minute, sparking jubilation among visiting fans. Nigel Pearson’s team aims for consecutive wins, a feat not achieved since September 2022, showcasing their recent inconsistency. On August 9, Ashton Gate witnessed Bristol’s impressive 5-1 victory against Oxford United in the EFL Cup, led by a Jason Knight brace. Despite no new signings since July 11, a £22 million gain from Alex Scott’s sale to Bournemouth hints at potential arrivals in the remaining summer transfer window.

Following a remarkable victory over Leeds United, Birmingham heads to Ashton Gate with an uplifted spirit after an exceptional performance last weekend under John Eustace. Daniel Farke’s Leeds, missing key players Willy Gnonto, Crysencio Summerville, and Luis Sinisterra, faced a resolute Blues, who matched their recently-relegated opponents. The tense match in the West Midlands was settled in the final moments as Lukas Jutkiewicz converted a penalty earned by Daniel James’ foul on Ethan Laird. A packed crowd of over 21,000, the highest since February 2020, witnessed St Andrew’s transformation and an impressive showing against Leeds, instilling hope among supporters for Birmingham’s resurgence. While Ashton Gate has been a successful venue for Blues, their January visit ended in a 4-2 loss against Bristol City.
