Bristol City and Plymouth Argyle will wrap up their pre-season campaigns on Saturday, August 1, with a double-header that sees the Robins face both Plymouth and Exeter City on the same day.
Bristol City manager Michael Skubala has confirmed he will field two separate teams to maximize playing time for his squad, aiming for 90 minutes for most players across the two fixtures.

The Robins come into the match following a 4-1 victory over Newcastle United on Wednesday, while Plymouth Argyle remain undefeated in pre-season after four wins against non-league opposition.
Bristol City's Squad Plan
Skubala emphasized the importance of conditioning ahead of their Carabao Cup tie against Walsall, saying, "We're really happy about doing that and sharing some moments with fans.
Then, we've got a bit of a plan for Saturday; two teams - if you know what I mean - and two 90 minutes."
He acknowledged the physical challenge of playing two matches in quick succession, noting, "We need to see how we are today and see how they recover, as it is obviously a Wednesday to Saturday."
Bristol City previously split their squad on Wednesday, with a second XI losing 3-2 to Forest Green Rovers while the primary unit beat Newcastle.
Skubala praised the opposition, saying, "We have to be careful, but that's the plan against a very good Plymouth team - I've played Tom Cleverley's team a few times last season.
