Bristol City are looking to record their first league double over Cardiff since the 2002-03 season under Danny Wilson.
Cardiff City have won four of their last five away league matches against Bristol City, including the last two without conceding a goal.
The away side has won the last five league meetings between Bristol City and Cardiff City; the last time an EFL fixture was won by the away team in six games in a row was Ipswich vs Derby between 2015 and 2017, a joint-record seven consecutive away wins.
Bristol City have kept just six clean sheets in 40 Championship matches under Nigel Pearson, conceding 70 goals in those matches.
They lost 6-2 to Fulham last time out, only the second time Pearson has overseen a side concede six goals in an English league match, having been in caretaker charge of Newcastle for a 6-0 defeat to Man Utd in January 2008.
Cardiff are without a clean sheet in any of their last 23 league matches, only once enduring a longer run without a shutout, going 34 games between October 1933 and August 1934.
