Prediction: 2-1
Preston
Plymouth will look to recover from a 1-0 loss to Millwall when they take on Preston in the Championship round 12. The Pilgrims continue with their old habit of struggling on the travels, but they are on a three-game winning run at home ahead of Saturday’s clash. Summer signing Andre Gray is pushing for a start, while Ibrahima Cissoko is banned following his sending-off in the midweek defeat.
The Lilywhites, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league matches. As Preston have yet to record a win on the road this term, we are tempted to place our bets on the home side. In their last meeting in the English top flight the Lilywhites defeated the Pilgrims 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Milutin Osmajic continues to miss out through suspension for the visiting side, with both Stefan Thordardson and Mads Frokjaer-Jensen likely to return to the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Robbie Brady):
Robbie Brady is an Irish footballer who plays for Norwich City as a winger, but he is capable of playing at left back as well. Brady began his youth career at St. Kevin’s Boys, where he was spotted by Manchester United scouts. In 2008 he joined the Old Trafford outfit at age 16.
He played for Manchester United U-18 team, but he did not make his debut for the senior team. The Irish footballer played for Hull City on loan in the 2011/2012 and the 2012/2013 Championship campaigns and in January, 2013 he signed a permanent deal with the Tigers for an undisclosed fee. Robbie Brady made his Republic of Ireland debut on 8 September, 2012, in a 4-1 win over Oman and it has to be noted that he scored one goal and provided two assists for his teammates in the victory over the Asian team.
He represented the Boys in Green at the 2016 European Championship finals and he scored the winner against Italy that helped the team make it to the knockout stages of the showpiece tournament.
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.
