Leicester are in trouble and still need to grab points
While Leicester still have a chance of direct promotion, manager Maresca must also be unhappy with his team's recent performances. They lost 1-0 at Millwall on Tuesday, their fifth defeat in the last nine Championship matches.
Off-pitch factors may have some effect, but more likely is the psychological pressure caused by Leicester's long-term leadership of the table. Despite this, Leicester City still hold the best away record in the Championship, with 42 points from 21 away games.
It should be noted, though, that they have recently failed to win away at Hull City, Bristol City and Millwall, picking up just one point.
Head coach Maresca should be pleased with the upcoming fixtures as three of their final four games will be played at home. But a defeat in this game, even if they perform well in the Midlands of England, will greatly increase their chances of progressing to the promotion play-offs.
Plymouth are back in form
For the first time since De Snip's return to caretaker manager, Plymouth have not lost in two games. Their defensive performances of late have been impressive, failing to concede more than 2 goals in their last 8 matches.
Their 1-0 win at Rotherham United on Friday and a 1-1 draw at home to Queens Park Rangers four days later gave them relegation hopes.
However, due to the excellent performances of other teams, this team from the south coast is currently only 2 points above the relegation zone. They will also be away to relegation rivals Stoke City and Millwall, so this game will be crucial for them.
summary
Given Plymouth's recent upturn in form, it could be that goals could be scored at home. However, Leicester's stronger forward line could help them secure a win in the latter stages of the game. We anticipate Plymouth 1-2 Leicester City.
