Bristol City vs Plymouth Prediction and Betting Tips | 30th November, 2024

Bristol City lock horns with Plymouth in the 18th round of games in the EFL Championship on Saturday. The two sides are perched in opposite halves of the points table.

Liam Manning's Bristol are fresh off a 1-0 midweek defeat at Watford. Ryan Andrews' 53rd-minute strike was enough to sink the Robins, who had dominated possession (61%). The defeat leaves Bristol in 12th place in the points table with 22 points from 17 games, winning five and losing as many, including the last two.

Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney's Plymouth are coming off a 5-1 mauling at Norwich City in midweek. Borja Sainz put the hosts two goals to the good inside 17 minutes before Mustapha Bundu pulled one back for Plymouth.

However, that was as good as it would get for the visitors, as Norwich ran riot after the break. Sainz completed his hat-trick, while two more players got on the scoresheet, dropping the Pilgrims to 20th in the standings, with 17 points from as many games, winning four.

On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the Bristol-Plymouth Championship clash at Ashton Gate.

Bristol City vs Plymouth prediction

Both sides have struggled this season, especially Plymouth, who find themselves perilously close to the relegation zone. The visitors are also winless in three games in the league, losing once.

In terms of head-to-head, Bristol have a slender advantage and have also dominated recently in the fixture. They have four wins in their last five league meetings, including a double last season.

Considering that and Plymouth's atrocious record on the road, we expect Bristol to take a comfortable win and extend Rooney's side's winless run.
