Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Championship match.
For Plymouth Argyle, this is an excellent opportunity to finally escape the relegation zone. On the other hand, Cardiff City could fall into it if they lose.
Plymouth Argyle
Given recent results, Plymouth Argyle' situation no longer looks as dire. They are two points shy of leaving the relegation zone, and their relegation rivals have failed to win in the past three rounds. Plymouth Argyle have earned four points from their last three games, losing only to fifth-placed Blackburn (0:2). They will also take confidence from their last home fixture, where they thrashed Millwall (5:1).
Cardiff City
Could Cardiff City achieve something similar? Although the Welsh club has only won once in their last five matches, their only major failure came in a 7:0 defeat to Leeds United. In the other matches, even their losses were narrow, and three of their last five games saw under 3.5 goals.
Plymouth Argyle vs Cardiff City Prediction
Plymouth have improved defensively, conceding more than one goal in just two of their last six matches—even Liverpool struggled to break them down. Given their form and Cardiff’s inconsistency, the home side should at least avoid defeat, with a low-scoring affair likely.
