Prediction: 1-2
Middlesbrough
Plymouth will be aiming to put an end to their four-game losing run in the Championship when they take on Middlesbrough on Matchday 22. The Pilgrims are running down a blind alley and, as a result, boss Wayne Rooney is under big pressure ahead of Saturday’s game. Michael Obafemi is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 2-0 loss to Sheffield United, while all Cissoko, Edwards, Tijani, and Whittaker remain in the recovery room.
The Boro, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Millwall. Michael Carrick’s men are eager to stay in the playoffs berth and even though Plymouth are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to place our bets on the visiting side. As Luke Ayling limped off with injury in the last league match, Anfernee Dijksteel is likely to sneak into the starting XI.
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.
