Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Plymouth and Cheltenham face each other at Home Park in a postponed League One game. The Pilgrims look unstoppable at the moment, with the team winning each of their last five league fixtures. Plymouth aim to cement their place in the playoffs, and the bookies see them as favourites to win the midweek game. Niall Ennis should be recalled to the starting XI after finding the net in a 4-0 crushing of Accrington, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, have little to play for in the season finale as they are stuck in the middle of the table. Even though Cheltenham have been showing signs of improvement of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Pilgrims. Michael Duff is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed AFC Wimbledon 3-1 at the weekend.
