Bristol City suffered a 1-0 loss in their last game against Watford. They have now suffered a back-to-back loss after losing 1-0 to Burnley before the previous loss. They have seen one win in their last four games and are winless in their previous five home games. They sit 12th on the table with 22 points in 17 games, scoring 20 goals and conceding 21. Meanwhile, Mark Sykes (hamstring), Joe Williams (achilles tendon), George Tanner (knee injury), Ross McCrorie (hamstring), Sam Bell (leg injury), and Ayman Benarous (hamstring) are all out of this game.

Plymouth suffered a 6-1 loss to Norwich in their last game to extend their winless run to 3 straight games. They have the worst away record in the league, with just two points, scoring three goals, and conceding 23 times in the nine games played away. They sit 20th on the table with 17 points in 17 games, scoring 18 goals and conceding 34. Meanwhile, Morgan Whittaker (leg injury), Lewis Gibson (thigh injury), Ryan Hardie (groin injury), Muhamed Tijani (leg injury), Ibrahim Cissoko (groin injury), Joe Edwards (hamstring), Brendan Galloway (ankle injury), and Conor Hazard (ligament injury) are all out of this game.

Bristol City — Max O'Leary, Zak Vyner, Robert Dickie, Luke McNally, George Earthy, Marcus McGuane, Jason Knight, Cameron Pring, Scott Twine, Anis Mehmeti, Nahki Wells.

Plymouth — Daniel Grimshaw, Kornél Szűcs, Julio Pleguezuelo, Victor Palsson, Matthew Sorinola, Adam Forshaw, Darko Gyabi, Bali Mumba, Mustapha Bundu, Rami Al Hajj, Andre Gray.

Both sides have been enduring difficult recent games, but the hosts are still much better than Plymouth. With this, I expect the hosts to get the much-needed win here, but Rooney’s men are also expected to get a consolation goal.
