History of the Bristol City v Plymouth Argyle fixture

Plymouth Arg. face a trip to Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Tuesday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having taken no points from 15 of the 23 contests.

FootyMad's prediction ...

This promises to be an excellent test for the in-form Pilgrims, but one which I believe will end in stalemate. No-score draw
