Our prediction for this Championship match:
Following a goalless draw with Queens Park Rangers, Plymouth will look to return to winning ways in the Championship when they face Rotherham United on Saturday afternoon. The Pilgrims produce much better showings at home than on the travels and you should know that they are eyeing their seventh home win of the process. Dan Scarr is banned for the match, with fellow defender Julio Pleguezuelo likely to step up.
The Millers, on the other hand, continue to struggle in the 2023/2024 Championship campaign, with the team sitting in the ultimate position with only 13 points on their account. As Rotherham failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Swansea and WBA, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Daniel Ayala is back from suspension, while all Onyedinma, Cafu, Clucas, Green, Blackett, Humphreys, and Ferguson remain in the treatment room.
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.
