The win saw the Robins climb to 13th spot in the table, having garnered 50 points from 39 games. Plymouth are 20th with 41 points to show for their efforts in 39 games.

Plymouth vs Bristol City Prediction
Plymouth were comfortably in mid-table earlier in the season but a series of poor results has seen them plummet down the standings. The Pilgrims sit just two spots outside the bottom three and have just a two-point advantage over 22nd-placed Huddersfield Town.
Bristol City will be buzzing from their victory over promotion-chasing Leicester City. The victory over the Foxes took Liam Manning's side past the 50-point mark and they will be looking to build on this. They will be full of confidence as they visit the M5, having won five of the last six head-to-head games.
Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the two sides to share the spoils in a low-scoring stalemate.
