Plymouth – Swindon

The Pilgrims are waking up in the League One. Two home wins in a row, against league giants Huddersfield (2-1) and in the midweek vs. Bristol Rovers (3-1). They’re creating plenty of goal chances lately and possess great attacking potential. Bradley Wright-Phillips is league top goal scorer, they have fast wing play and legendary striker Rory Fallon who is back after injury. However, defense with 25 conceded goals in 15 games looks far from being secure. Additional problem for the back line is missing of two players, defender Johnson and goalie Button. Midfielder Conor Clifford is Cup tied.

Swindon are just a shadow from a team from previous season and play-off ambitions look unrealistic at this moment. Team’s mascot and top goal scorer, Billy Painter, went to Leeds, but their major problem is (same as with Plymouth) too much conceded goals (27 in 15 games). Additional headache for boss Danny Wilson is he cannot count on three defenders. Frampton,  Jean-Francois  and Amankwaah are all out! Good news is winger, Matt Ritchie, got the permission from Portsmouth to play today. Wilson was storming out on older players, after midweek 0-3 home defeat against Charlton for lacking of effort and giving a bad example to the youngsters. There should be some positive reaction from them.

Two attacking minded sides with big problems in the defense lines. FA Cup (and money rewards) should be a nice motivation. I can give a small advantage to the home side, but see goals as a better option.

Bet: Over 2.5
Odd: 1.80 bet365
Stake: 8/10

And probably one more pick, little later.

Coventry City - Plymouth Argyle

Coventry are in a great run of results and now they’re just 3 points far from play-off zone. Break moment was a home win vs. Nott.Forest which gave them a large amount of self-confidence. In next five games, crew from Ricoh Arena has noticed four wins and just one defeat (Newcastle on the road). Their game is not so pretty to watch, but it’s tactically perfect. Coleman is a great manager, team is well balanced, possess a decent quality and it won’t be surprise if they finish in play-off. The Sky Blues will be without defenders, injured Ben Turner and suspended Leon Barnett. Good news is returning of defender Richard Wood and midfielder David Bell. A win today would be a perfect warming-up for Tuesday’s clash at Ricoh vs. 6^th Cardiff.

 

Plymouth are second from the bottom, seven points far from safe zone. They could already start the preparation for the third tier as team simply doesn’t possess enough quality for Championship. They’ve made some shocking displays through the season (1-0 away wins vs. ‘Boro and Cardiff), carry a fighting spirit and far from that they gave up, but Argyle have noticed just a single win in last nine games. Defender Reda Johnson is out injured, while winger Craig Noone and midfielder Chris Clark will face a fitness test. Boss Mariner hopes the club will finish the deal about loaning WBA defender Bondz N’Gala in time to play. 

 

Coventry are flying high and a play-off dream is a great motivator. They have a more than decent quality and look good, especially at home. Plymouth  recently have plenty of problems in defense line, while in front look almost harmless. Their best results have been consequences of opponent’s underestimating. Chris Coleman won’t allow that. Home win - 1.90 at Pinnacle and handicap as a gamble.
