Here, a handful of our writers make their predictions for the game…
James Ray
“I can see this being a pretty tight game. I’d lean towards a Bristol City win given that Plymouth aren’t the strongest away from home but the Robins are yet to pick up a home win themselves, offering a glimmer of hope for the visitors.
“Pearson’s side have only conceded five goals in their opening six games but a bit of a lack of potency up top is stopping them from making real inroads up the division.
“Plymouth have the talent in their squad to cause some problems for the hosts and I can see them getting something from this one. I’ll go for a 1-1 draw.”
Score prediction: Bristol City 1-1 Plymouth Argyle
Luke Phelps
“Both teams look pretty solid this season.
“Bristol City are proving typically tough to beat under Pearson and they’ll fancy themselves at Ashton Gate in most games this season.
“Plymouth though are more than holding their own in the Championship. They gave a good account of themsleves against a good Preston side last time out, but another game on the road could take its toll on the players.
“For that reason, and because Bristol City have a bit more Championship experience, I’ll say home win.”
Score prediction: Bristol City 2-0 Plymouth Argyle
