Plymouth Argyle vs Lincoln City: Predictions, Team News, Lineups Preview
Plymouth Argyle will face Lincoln City at Home Park this Saturday, striving for crucial points in League One. Lincoln currently sits second in the league, holding a six-point lead in the automatic promotion race. Meanwhile, Plymouth is in 15th place but recently demonstrated a revival in form.
Match Preview
Lincoln City aims to secure their first return to the second tier of English football in over 60 years. The team has not lost in their last 12 League One matches, applying pressure on their competitors. A recent victory against Wigan Athletic kept third-placed Bolton Wanderers at bay and closed the gap to leaders Cardiff City to just two points.
Upcoming matches include a pivotal game against Cardiff City on March 7, which could be crucial for Lincoln’s title ambitions. Under the management of Michael Skubala, the team has earned an impressive 22 points from 14 away games this season. Lincoln has also achieved back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since September.
Plymouth Argyle’s Recent Form
Plymouth Argyle had an impressive unbeaten run, which ended with a disappointing 2-1 loss at Stockport County. The defeat was particularly challenging, as Plymouth had a halftime lead but conceded two late goals. Manager Tom Cleverley has rejuvenated the team, with 12 points from their last six league matches.
Plymouth remains just six points above the relegation zone, making survival a priority. However, they are only 11 points away from playoff contention with 17 matches left in the season. Despite an undefeated streak at Home Park, Plymouth’s home record is the fourth weakest in the league, having secured only 18 points from 15 games.
Team News
For Plymouth, Caleb Watts is expected to continue in his role in the attack despite his recent substitution. Jack McKenzie may start for the first time this season in place of Brendan Galloway, who is struggling with a groin injury. New signings Wes Harding and Herbie Kane might also feature in the squad, alongside Lorent Tolaj, who is recovering from a minor injury.
Lincoln City is likely to maintain a consistent lineup following their victory over Wigan. Despite recent appearances from Ben House, he will likely remain on the bench. Defender Kamil Conteh, signed from Bristol Rovers, could be included as a substitute.
