History of the Bristol City v Plymouth Argyle fixture

Bristol City prepare to entertain Plymouth Argyle at Ashton Gate Stadium on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, winning 16 and drawing 9 of the 27 games played.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ashton Gate Stadium was just last season, in September 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Championship match.
