The November international break is the final chance for teams to take stock of their situation. All teams have played 15 games and so the campaign is a little over the quarter of the way through.
It won't be too long until we reach the half way stage as there are at least two rounds of midweek fixtures to be played ahead of the festive period. Games come thick and fast in the build-up to and during the Christmas period, and the only break if you can call it that is when FA Cup games are scheduled.
City find themselves currently in ninth following their win against Norwich City before the international break. They're currently just three points off the play-offs and if they can turn some of those home draws in to wins then they should be in the promotion picture come the New Year.
Supporters with their own eyes can see the strengths and weaknesses in the team. They’ll have come away from the Gate or away matches delivering their takes on the game, but what happens when you mix football and maths?
Opta have calculated the expected points of each club to try and provide an alternative picture. To do this, they simulate each game 10,000 times using the expected goals (xG) total for each team, and it brings up some interesting outcomes that not everyone will agree with.
According to Opta, Bristol City are slightly under achieving when it comes to their actual position - but Robins supporters might have something to say about that. Flick through to see where they rank.
