Prediction: 2-2
Plymouth
Oxford United and Plymouth go head to head at Kassam Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Yellows aim to build on back-to-back wins over Accrington (5-1) and Sheffield Wednesday (2-1), and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach. James Henry is widely expected to return to the starting XI after finding the net in the triumph over the Owls.
The Pilgrims, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Burton. Considering that Plymouth have been scoring goals for fun of late as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. In their last meeting in the English their tier Oxford defeated Plymouth 3-1, and you should know that 12 goals in total have been netted in the previous three encounters between the two teams.
Highlighted Player (Elliott Moore):
Born in Coalville, England on March 16, 1997 Elliott Moore is an English footballer who plays for Oxford United as a centre-back. Moore has one cap with the England U18 team, while making two appearances for the England U20 team.
The 196-cm tall defender is a product of Leicester City football school, joining the club at the age of 6, but he did not enjoy a first-team football with the Foxes. He made his first appearances for Leicester City senior team on July 19, 2017 against WBA at the Asia Trophy. After spending a couple of seasons on loan at OH Leuven, Elliott Moore returned to England in the summer of 2019, signing a contract with League One side Oxford United.
Moore made his League One debut against Sunderland on August 3, 2019. The two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Stadium of Light in the opening match of the season, with Elliott Moore coming from the bench in the dying minutes of the game.
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.
