Plymouth Argyle, Recent FormThe Plymouth Argyle squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Coventry City, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Coventry City, who had 13 shots on goal with 3 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Steven Schumacher will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
With 6 league goals in 6 games at home in Home Park, Morgan Whittaker will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Stoke City, Recent FormThe Stoke City players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Queens Park Rangers recently, that ended in a 4-2 defeat. In that game they recorded 50 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 9 of their 19 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 5, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games overall.
It's been a mixed run of away form for Stoke recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 games on the road.
Mehdi Léris will be hoping to create problems for Plymouth Argyle in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Stoke City.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
Plymouth have scored in each of their last 4 league meetings with The Potters.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Home Park in the league, but Plymouth will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings there.
With only Saxon Earley (Ankle) and Ryan Hardie (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Steven Schumacher will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Alex Neil has a number of injury concerns in his Stoke squad to contend with: Lewis Baker (Knee surgery), Emre Tezgel (Unknown) and Ben Wilmot (Knee)
