Bristol City are on a poor run ahead of hosting Leicester City at Ashton Gate on Friday, with just three points collected from their last six games.
The Robins have picked up just one win in their last six Championship games, and face a Foxes side whose last six games have brought two wins and one draw.
With 74 goals in 37 games so far this season, Leicester are the league's second-highest scorers with 2.0 goals per game. And they are conceding fewer than average, letting in 33 goals at a rate of 0.9 per game.
Bristol City, meanwhile, are below average scorers, with 1.1 goals per game, compared to a league average of 1.4. They have conceded 1.2 goals per game.
Leicester City are second in the table after 37 games, of which they have won 26 and drawn four, earning 82 points.
The Robins are 12 places behind the Foxes in 14th, with 13 wins and eight draws putting them on 47 points.
With Mads Hermansen between the sticks, the visitors can rely on one of the league's safest pair of hands. He has kept 12 clean sheets in his 36 appearances this season, and only two other ‘keepers – Leeds United's Illan Meslier and West Bromwich Albion's Alex Palmer – have been able to prevent the opposition scoring on more occasions in the Championship.
In the home team's net, Max O'Leary has eight clean sheets in 38 games. He has conceded a goal every 86 minutes, 40% more often than the 120 minutes between goals for Hermansen.
Bristol City's last match was on March 16, a 2-0 loss against West Bromwich Albion.
Leicester drew 2-2 with Hull City last time out, on March 9, with Jamie Vardy on the scoresheet.
