Stats for this game

Matchup Bristol City VS Preston

Wins and draws keep the league balance mixed

Bristol City won 3–1 at Preston on 1 September 2026 and repeated that score at Preston on 2 November 2024. Preston answered with a 2–0 away win at Bristol City on 4 January 2026 and a 2–0 home result on 13 January 2024.

The next league chapter stays open

The matchup contains decisive margins in both directions as well as shared results, so no one score should define the whole comparison. Bristol City’s away wins and Preston’s two-goal responses leave room for another change in emphasis. The enduring question is whether Bristol City can add a home result, whether Preston can repeat an away response, or whether the clubs share the points again overall.
