23rd placed Plymouth Argyle can move out of the relegation places if they win this match. They host Cardiff City who are 20th in the Championship and only three points above the hosts. Can the Pilgrims get another home win? Here's our match prediction.
Argyle have shown improvement since the sacking of Wayne Rooney as coach. They are in the FA Cup fifth round (after beating Brentford and Liverpool) and come into this match having earned eight points from their last five league games.
Wednesday evening saw them come from behind to draw 1-1 at bottom-of-the-table Luton Town Home form for Plymouth has seen them win their last two league fixtures with seven goals but conceded in both matches.
Cardiff City are two places and three points above the relegation zone with a game in hand. The Bluebirds drew their last league game 1-1 at home to Bristol City, drawing level in the 90th minute.
That made it three league games without a win for Cardiff. Their away form is a worry with just two points from the last four league games. Their last two have been lost, including a 7-0 loss at Leeds United.
Eight of their last nine away league games have seen both teams score. We go for that stat to come up again on Saturday.

More than 80 leagues and competitions are available on this football promotion from bet365. If the team that you have backed takes a two-goal lead at any point in the game, then your bet is a winner. This counts on both single bets and on multiple placed on the full time market, though of course on a multiple it is only the game in question that is marked as a winner, all the other selections still have to win as well.
A bet placed on any enhanced price is not valid for this offer, nor any bet that is cashed out. If you have partially chased out, the remainder of the stake is paid out as a winner. If your acca selection would have been a loser but for this offer then you will not gain any acca boost winnings. So for example, your team goes 2-0 up so you are paid out as a winner but the end result is 2-2, your bet is still a winner if all the other selections win but you do not gain any acca boost.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
