Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Saturday’s football game at Oakwell pits together Barnsley and Plymouth, the two promotion-chasing sides. The Tykes proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Portsmouth, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the Pilgrims. Both Bradley Collins and Robbie Cundy remain in the recovery room, while Luca Connell remains doubtful for the home side.
Meanwhile, the visitors aim to build on back-to-back wins over Charlton Athletic and Derby County. Since both sides look sharp in front of goal, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Talented midfielder Callum Wright is pushing for a start after scoring the equalizer in the midweek triumph, while Adam Randell remains on the sidelines with injury. Dan Scarr is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
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.
