Plymouth have lost seven of their last eight league games against Birmingham (D1) since a 1-0 win in October 1988.
This will be Birmingham City’s first league trip to Plymouth since a 1-0 victory in December 2008 under Alex McLeish.
Plymouth Argyle have won seven of their 11 home league games this season (D1 L3), with only Ipswich and Leicester (nine wins each) winning more at home in the Championship this campaign.
After a run of eight consecutive away league defeats, Birmingham City won 1-0 at Cardiff earlier this month. The Blues haven’t won consecutive away games since last September.
Plymouth’s Morgan Whittaker has been involved in 23 goals in 24 home league appearances for the Pilgrims at Home Park (13 goals, 10 assists), averaging a goal or assist every 79 minutes in these appearances.
