Plymouth v Hull

Plymouth vs Hull Preview

Plymouth Argyle will be relieved to be returning to the more familiar surroundings of their Home Park for this crucial final game of the Championship season against Hull City having slipped to two defeats on the trot away from home, while Hull City could only pick up a point in a 3-3 draw at home with Ipswich Town last weekend which means The Tigers must take all three points in Devon on Saturday lunchtime if they're to stand any chance of overhauling Norwich City into the play-offs.

Recent back-to-back defeats away from home for Plymouth Argyle on the road at Stoke City and Millwall have made it a nervy and tense last day of the season for The Pilgrims who sit just one league position and one point above the relegation zone and having managed to capture just two wins in their previous 11 games overall including seven defeats, the hosts look to have their work cut out here.

Rare victories in the form of wins against Rotherham United and Leicester City have been Plymouth Argyle's only highlights in what has otherwise been a dismal and tense end to their Championship campaign and they'll now have to face a Hull City outfit who know they must win this upcoming fixture. Hull City bring a solid looking six-match unbeaten sequence in the English tier into this lunchtime clash at Home Park which includes wins against Cardiff City, QPR and Coventry City along with picking up points in draws with Middlesbrough, Watford and Ipswich Town as well.

Under the guidance of up and coming manager Liam Rosenior, Hull City have emerged as one of the dark horses to claim a place in this season's play-offs although if they are to do so, The Tigers will need to win by at least eight clear goals and hope Norwich City lose away from home at Birmingham City.

The bigger picture shows Hull City have suffered just the two defeats in their last 15 matches overall in the Championship and this underlines the transformation that The Tigers have experienced this season under the promising Liam Rosenior.

Hull City have picked up six wins within these last 15 games overall and it's interesting to note that five of these six victories were achieved on their travels with wins registered at the likes of Rotherham United, Huddersfield Town, Southampton, Cardiff City and Coventry City respectively, so the visitors will fancy their chances away at Plymouth Argyle on Saturday.

Plymouth Argyle v Hull City Verdict
