Our prediction for this Championship match:
All eyes will be on Home Park when Plymouth and Ipswich Town square off against each other in a highly-anticipated Championship game. The Pilgrims defeated Middlesbrough on the road in their last league match, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they will have a big fish to fry against the Tractor Boys. Barring any fresh injury worries, Ian Foster is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Boro.
The visitors, on the other hand, are eyeing their fifth consecutive league win and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Given Plymouth’s attacking potential in front of home fans, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Omari Hutchinson is widely expected to replace Wes Burns in the starting XI. In the first half of the season Ipswich defeated Plymouth 3-2.
Highlighted Player (Vaclav Hladky):
Born in Brno on November 14, 1990, Vaclav Hladky is a Czech footballer who plays for Scottish Premier League club St Mirren as a goalkeeper. Hladky spent his youth career at the likes of FC Sparta Brno, FK Sardice, and FC Zbrojovka Brno, and he continued playing for the Zbrojovka Brno reserve team at the senior level.
The 192-cm-tall shot-stopper played for the likes of MSK Breclav (loan) Sparta Brno, FK Sardice, FC Zbrojovka Brno (senior team), and Slovan Liberec before signing a contract with St Mirren. The Czech goalkeeper made his Scottish Premiership debut on January 23, 2019, in a 4-0 loss at Celtic.
Hladky played for the Czech Republic youth teams as well, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the Czech Republic senior team. Vaclav Hladky wears the No. 1 shirt at St Mirren, and his preferred foot is right.
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.
