Championship, played Tuesday, September 19th, 2023
Here is our Bristol City v Plymouth tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a tie. Our confidence in this pick was moderate relative to other picks.
There's midweek action in the Championship on Tuesday night and features this upcoming west of country clash between Bristol City and newcomers, Plymouth Argyle, when the two teams face off at Ashton Gate with the hosts looking to extend their unbeaten run to four matches while the visitors will be keen to bounce back from another defeat.
Bristol City have made a reasonable start to this new Championship season as The Robins occupy a top half position in the table as they sit in 10th place and having lost just once so far in their opening six games overall, Nigel Pearson's side will be confident that they can add to their points tally here on Tuesday night.
The Robins have picked up wins against Millwall and Swansea City along with picking up points in draws with Preston NE, Hull City and West Brom, and goals could also feature in this upcoming encounter as three of Bristol City's six games have resulted in both teams scoring.
On home soil at Ashton Gate, six of Bristol City's last 10 games have also seen both teams hit the back of the net as well.
Plymouth Argyle have found life back in the Championship a rather tough proposition so far this season despite picking up early season wins against Huddersfield Town and Blackburn Rovers which both happened to be registered on home soil at their Home Park ground but three defeats in their last four matches suggest this upcoming trip could be a tough assignment.
Following promotion from League One at the end of last season, The Pilgrims have found it difficult to adjust to the English second tier as they have been handed defeats at the hands of Southampton, Birmingham City and Preston NE, the latter two losses being incurred on their travels.
Plymouth Argyle captured four wins on the trot on the road towards the end of last season's successful campaign in League One but recent results away from home have been fairly disappointing for The Pilgrims as they have now failed to win any of their last five away games.
Three defeats in their last four outings on the road have also resulted in defeats at Swindon Town, Birmingham City and Preston NE while goals also look a likely option as seven of Plymouth's last 10 away trips have also resulted in both teams scoring.
Bristol City v Plymouth Argyle Verdict
It's been 13 years since Bristol City and Plymouth Argyle last met in a league match and a lot of water has passed under the proverbial bridge since then but both teams look set to score and concede in this west country clash as previous recent results indicate goals for both teams here on Tuesday night.
Therefore, our main bet will be Both Teams To Score Yes @ 1.66 Other side bets worth considering:
Draw @ 3.40
Correct score: 1-1 @ 6.50
