Bristol City have won both of their last two home league games against Sheffield Wednesday without conceding; only once in their history have they won three in a row at home to the Owls, doing so in February 1981.
Sheffield Wednesday have won five of their last eight league games against Bristol City (D1 L2), including a 2-1 win most recently in February last season.
Bristol City are unbeaten in eight home league games, winning six of those (D2). The Robins have avoided defeat in their first three home league games of a season for the first time since 2017-18 (first 6).
Sheffield Wednesday have lost all three of their away games in the Championship this season; they last lost their opening four on their travels in a league season in 1989-90 in the top-flight, and last did so outside the top division in 1975-76 (3rd tier).
Bristol City’s Scott Twine has scored exactly once in all three of his previous league appearances against Sheffield Wednesday, home and away for MK Dons in 2021-22 and for Hull at Hillsborough last season.
