Our prediction for this Championship match:
Plymouth and Hull City square off against each other at Home Park in what is expected to be the most interesting game of Saturday’s program. The Pilgrims are desperate to secure the Championship survival and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field. Neil Dewsnip has a luxury to field the best possible side against Hull City.
The Tigers, on the other hand, are determined to sneak into the Championship playoffs. As Hull City face a must-win situation in the decider as well, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score this time out. Morocco forward Anass Zaroury remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the away team. It has to be noted that the two sides played out a 1-1 draw at MKM Stadium in the first half of the season.
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.
