Prediction: 2-1
Blackburn Rovers
Plymouth will try to recover from a 1-0 loss to Burnley when they take on Blackburn Rovers on Matchday 9. The Pilgrims have been struggling on the road this term, but they did well to beat both Sunderland and Luton in the last two home games. Defender Bali Mumba is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while both Conor Hazard (goalkeeper) and Muhamed Tijani (forward) remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Coventry. As Plymouth defeated Blackburn 3-0 in their last meeting at Home Park, we are tempted to place our bets on the home side. To make things even worse, defender Owen Beck is banned for the visiting side, while all Callum Brittain, Zak Gilsenan, Harry Leonard, and Scott Wharton miss out with injuries.
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.
