Plymouth Argyle, Recent FormPlymouth Argyle won't feel too deflated by the 3-2 away defeat to Ipswich Town, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. They came away from that fixture with 45% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Ipswich Town managed 15 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Manager Steven Schumacher will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Middlesbrough, Recent FormThe 2-0 home defeat to Stoke City will not have sat easily with the Middlesbrough squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They achieved 58% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Stoke City's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Manager Michael Carrick will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
Unbeaten in their last 4 away league games, including 3 consecutive wins is a good spell of form on the road.
Riley McGree will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Middlesbrough.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 0-2 win for Middlesbrough.
The Boro have found the back of the net in each of their previous 3 league matches away from home to Plymouth.
In the league, Middlesboro have been unbeaten in the last 3 times they have visited Plymouth at Home Park.
Plymouth manager Steven Schumacher has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Saxon Earley (Ankle), Brendan Galloway (Unknown) and Callum Wright (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Michael Carrick has a number of injury concerns in his Middlesboro squad to contend with: Marcus Forss (Thigh), Darragh Lenihan (Achilles tendon), Riley McGree (Foot), Lewis O'Brien (Ankle) and Tommy Smith (Achilles tendon)
