Our prediction for the Portsmouth vs Plymouth Argyle match
The club from "Fratton Park" has finally returned to at least Championship level. They won League One, five points ahead of Derby County and ten points ahead of Bolton. The current guests were promoted a year earlier and won a tough race against Birmingham for the "salvaging" 21st place, literally by one point, 51 against 50.
For a long time, Plymouth looked frankly bad. But everything changed in winter when they acquired a couple of newcomers and appointed Muslich as head coach. The team became memorable largely due to their feats in the cup, where they managed to eliminate Brentford and even Liverpool, and then opened the scoring with Taloverov's goal in the match against Manchester City - but eventually lost 1-3. Nevertheless, now the focus should truly be on the fight for survival. However, after a couple of victories, there was a defeat to Blackburn and draws with Luton and Cardiff. After the break, they lost "dry" to Hull and Sheffield Wednesday. The division newcomer conducted the season quite systematically, and in February even managed to win three times in a row, approaching the 40-point mark. However, in March they lost 0-1 to Luton. In the match against Leeds, they managed to win again.
John Mousinho's team scores 1.22 goals per match while conceding noticeably more, 1.58. Well, for an outsider from the relegation zone, the ratio is corresponding - 1.0/2.03.
