Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Forest Green will look to record their second win of the season when they welcome Plymouth to their New Lawn on Matchday 5. The Green Army have been producing fine displays at this level, but they face a difficult task in Saturday’s clash. Summer signing Connor Wickham could be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Lincoln. It has to be noted that Forest Green were not in action in midweek as their clash with Accrington Stanley was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
The Pilgrims, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-1 loss to Charlton, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. To make things even worse for the visiting side, experienced defender James Wilson misses the game through suspensions.
Highlighted Player (Callum Camps):
Callum Camps is yet another product of Rochdale football school. Born in Stockport, England on November 30, 1995, Camps came through Rochdale youth team before making his senior debut on April 13, 2013 in a 2-2 draw with Port Vale.
He has been playing for the Dale ever since and it has to be noted that his most successful season was the 2016/2017 as he scored eight goals in 44 appearances in the League one for the club. Despite being born in England, Callum Caps is eligible to play for Northern Ireland national team through his grandmother, but he has only one cap with the Northern Ireland U21 team.
He made his debut with the U21 team in a 2-1 loss to Macedonia on October 13, 2015. His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as both defensive and attacking midfielder as well.
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.
