Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following back-to-back losses to Cambridge United and Rotherham United, Plymouth will be aiming to regain their spot in top six when they take on Morecambe on Saturday. The Pilgrims suffered a dip in form, but this game could be the turning point for the promotion-chasing hosts. Both George Cox and Brendan Galloway are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Shrimps, on the other hand, aim to escape the relegation zone, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Plymouth. Anyhow, home win should be considered as the Pilgrims will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Ryan McLaughlin remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the away team. In their last meeting at Home Park Plymouth rolled over Morecambe 3-0.
