Struggling Plymouth will be looking to shock another promotion hopeful when they travel to Middlesbrough on Good Friday. While Middlesbrough start this game placed eighth, Plymouth are bottom of the standings, with four matches remaining. Check out our prediction for the match below.
Hosts Middlesbrough seek to bounce back after identical 1-0 back-to-back defeats in the last two rounds. The latest of them was at Millwall, leaving them three points outside the top six.
Returning home, Boro will feel confident about reigniting their playoff hopes. They have three wins in their last four home matches in the Championship.
Plymouth are coming from their second win in the last three matches, holding on to their survival hopes. They beat third-placed Sheffield United 2-1 in the biggest shock of the last round.
Though they start this matchday at the bottom of the standings, the Pilgrims are just three points below the safety line. An inferior goal difference is among the factors pulling them down at this point in time.
Much of that has been down to poor scoring form, especially in away matches. Plymouth have failed to score in 15 of 21 away league games this season and won just one of the 21 outings.

Our Middlesbrough vs Plymouth Prediction
Plymouth Argyle have managed 40 points so far, but only nine of them came on the road. This will be another tough test for the visitors as they seek to boost their survival hopes. Against Middlesbrough, they face a side with a much better record and doing fairly well at home.
The one commonality across both teams is that they’ve struggled in front of goal lately. With that trend, we may have a low-scoring game here, but Middlesbrough come in as favorites. Our prediction for Middlesbrough v Plymouth Argyle is for Middlesbrough to win and under 2.5 goals.
