Our prediction for this Championship match:
Plymouth will try to put an end to their dreadful nine-game winless run in the Championship when they face Bristol City on Matchday 25. The Pilgrims have been struggling under Wayne Rooney this season and, as a result, the former Manchester United ace is on the verge of losing his job. Plymouth are desperate to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Oxford United, but they will have to do it without midfielder Callum Wright, who remains on the sidelines through suspension.
The Robins, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Luton Town and Portsmouth. As Bristol City have been in a much better form of late than Plymouth, away win should be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Anis Mehmeti, who scored a brace in the last league match, while all Armstrong, Benarous, Naismith, Sykes, and Williams remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Team (Bristol City):
Bristol City are one of the two famous clubs from the city of Bristol. Formed in 1894 the Robins mostly participated in English lower leagues and they have never played in the Premier League. Bristol City’s bitterest rivals are Bristol Rovers and it has to be noted that two teams first met in 1897. Bristol City have outplayed their local rivals on 43 occasions in the Bristol Derby.
Cardiff City are regarded as Bristol City’s bitter rivals as well. The Robins play their home games at Ashton Gate, the stadium that was opened in 1887. Bristol City were semi-finalists of the League Cup two times (1970/1971, 1988/1989), with the team making it to the FA Cup final in 1909.
The Robins faced Manchester United in the title game, but they failed to upset the English giants in the Crystal Palace clash. It is well known that Bristol City footballers wear red shirts and blue shorts.
