Our prediction for this Championship match:
After holding Sunderland to a 2-2 draw at Stadium of Light, Plymouth will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face West Bromwich Albion at their Home Park on Saturday afternoon. The Pilgrims have been showing signs of improvement ever since manager Wayne Rooney quit his job, but their Championship status remains in great danger. Julio Pleguezuelo is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match, with Nathaniel Ogbeta being ready to sneak into the starting XI.
The Baggies, on the other hand, are eyeing a spot in the Championship playoffs. WBA are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash and given Plymouth’s attacking potential at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. DR Congo midfielder Grady Diangana has overcome his minor injury, while all Josh Maja, Semi Ajayi, and Kyle Bartley remain in the recovery room.
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.
