Prediction: 1-1
Plymouth
Shrewsbury Town will be aiming to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Portsmouth when they take on Plymouth on Matchday 4. The Shrews are stuck at the bottom of the table with three consecutive defeats, meaning that they are low on spirits ahead of Saturday’s game. Striker Sam Cosgrove, who made his full league debut in midweek, is likely to keep his place in the starting XI.
The Pilgrims, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs at the start of the season. Plymouth head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Cambridge United, and seeing that they look solid at the back, a low-scoring affair is on the cards. It has to be noted that Shrewsbury have yet to find the net in the new League One campaign. Plymouth midfielder Danny Mayor is rated doubtful for the game.
Highlighted Player (Aaron Pierre):
Born on February 17, 1993 in Southall, England Aaron Pierre is a professional footballer who plays for Shrewsbury Town in the League One as a defender. Pierre started his youth career at Fulham at the age of 15 and in 2011 he moved to Brentford youth school.
Speaking of his senior career, the 185-cm-tall defender played for the likes of Brentford, Cambridge United, Wycombe Wanderers and Northampton Town before signing a deal with Shrewsbury Town in the summer of 2019. Aaron Pierre signed for the League One side for an undisclosed fee, penning a three-year deal. Despite being born in England, the Shrewsbury Town footballer represents Granada on the international stage.
He received his first call-up for the Grenada national team in September, 2015, but he has yet to find the net with the Spice Boys. The Grenada international’s main position is centre-back, whereas his preferred foot is left.
Highlighted Team (Plymouth):
Nicknamed the Pilgrims, Plymouth are a professional football club that host their rivals at Home Park. The stadium, which can hold up to 18,600 people, was built in 1892 and opened the following year. Plymouth footballers wear dark green jerseys and white shorts when playing in front of home fans, while light green and white are the dominant colours of their away kit.
The Pilgrims made it to the FA Cup semi-finals in the 1983-84 season, with the team advancing to the Football League Cup semis on two occasions (1964-65, 1973-74). The Pilgrims recorded their biggest win against Millwall on January 16, 1932, with the team beating the Lions 8-1, and they repeated the success in 1994 as they rolled over Hartlepool United in the Second Division.
The club suffered their heaviest defeat against Stoke City (0-9) on December 17, 1960. Fellow Devon teams Exeter City and Torquay United are seen as the club’s fiercest rivals.
