Prediction: 1-2
Sunderland
Plymouth will look to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Stoke City when they take on Sunderland on Matchday 5. The Pilgrims are desperate to record their first win of the season and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Sunderland. Bear in mind, though, that important midfielder Freddie Issaka is banned for Saturday’s clash. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Black Cats, on the other hand, aim to keep their 100% record intact. As Sunderland made a perfect start to the season, we predict that they are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s clash against the struggling hosts. Pacey winger Romaine Mundle is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line, while defender Aji Alese and Jenson Seelt should be the only absentees in the visiting team. In their last meeting in the Championship Sunderland defeated Plymouth.
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.
