Neave double completes Wolves comeback at Bristol City
Wolves came from behind to beat Bristol City 2-1 at Ashton Gate Stadium in a Championship Matchday 14 fixture, with Sean Neave scoring twice in the final nine minutes. The home side had led through Scott Twine and held that advantage until late in the evening.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Twine put Bristol City in front in the 34th minute, and the hosts took a 1-0 lead into the interval. That lead came against the run of the match as a whole: Wolves had 62% of the possession and finished with 17 shots to Bristol City's 5, eight of them on target against three.
The equaliser arrived in the 82nd minute through Neave, and he struck again in the 89th, this time set up by Ladislav Krejčí, to turn the game around. Bristol City could not respond in the closing stages, and Wolves collected all three points.
The result lifted Wolves from seventh to second, on 27 points, while Bristol City stayed 15th on 18. Both sides play on Saturday: Wolves are away to Wrexham in the Championship, and Bristol City host Norwich in the same competition.
Neave scored both Wolves goals, in the 82nd and 89th minutes, and earned a rating of 9.42. Krejčí supplied the assist for the winner.

Starting line-ups
Bristol City (4-2-3-1)
Wolves (4-2-3-1)
Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Bristol City 24%, the draw 29%, Wolves 47%. It finished Bristol City 1–2 Wolves.
Wolves' stronger rating gives them a slight lean — We give Wolves 47% mainly because our strength rating has them 184 points higher, 1577 to 1393, though Bristol City's recent finishing, below what their chances deserved, pulls a little back their way since cold streaks like this have bounced back. The draw sits at 29%, up from a usual 25%, as both sides' own recent games average just 2.2 goals and Championship games draw more often.
Why Wolves at 47%?
Wolves sit 184 points higher on our strength rating — 1577 to 1393. Sides with a 160–240-point rating edge on the road won 50.5% of 7,218 such games. Championship home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (26.9% vs 25.3% norm). Championship homes won 43.0% of 8,520 games vs 44.6% across all 108,387 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 26–28–46.
Why only 47%?
Bristol City sit -0.54 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Finishing swings carry a receipt at this rating gap too: sides finishing this cold won 38.6% of 2,995 such games where the class table expected 35.6%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Bristol City win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 25.3%. These teams' recent games average 2.2 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.1% of 19,748. The goals environment adds 3.0 points to the draw. Championship runs draw-heavy, adding 1.6 points.
What did we measure but not count?
Bristol City are 1 game into a new manager (M. Skubala), appointed 4 days ago. The famous new-manager bounce doesn't survive its receipt: sides with a new manager beat their rating by 0.9 points over 33,420 games — but sides on an equally bad run who kept their manager beat it by 2.4 over 31,777. Wolves won 4 of the last 6 meetings with Bristol City. The record is 4 wins for Wolves, 1 draw and 1 win for Bristol City. These were 5 Championship games and 1 FA Cup game played at both grounds between 8 March 2016 and 11 January 2025. Latest meeting: 11 January 2025 — Bristol City 1–2 Wolves. In 6,111 historical matches between similarly rated teams, visiting sides with the stronger head-to-head record won 28.2%. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
