Peter Green - October 17, 2018
Plymouth Argyle vs Burton Albion
England League One
Date: Saturday, 20 October 2018
Kick-Off at 15:00 UK/ 16:00 CET
Venue: Home Park (Plymouth).
The Pilgrims lack in all aspects of the game. They do not have an aim going forward and they break down as a defensive unit.
After 13 rounds played in the league they are at the bottom of the table with only 1 win.
The Scottish manager Derek Adams was appointed back in 2015.He helped the team qualify to League 1 in 2016-2017 season. But he couldn’t lead the team as such in the upper tier. They finished 7th last season.
The last match against Oxford United ended 2-0.Derek’s side was a goal down before they even warmed. They couldn’t organize attacks up front and lost possession too often.
Burton on the other hand have to get back to the Championship. They finished 23rd in the second tier of English football last season and were relegated.
Manager Nigel Clough had a wonderful reign when he took the team from league 2 to league 1 and then to Championship in consecutive season from 2014-2016.
The Brewers won 1-0 at home against Bristol rovers in their recent match. Ben Fox scored late in injury time to ensure 3 points for them.
They are 15th in the league with 4 wins and 6 losses.
Having played in the championship Burton will have more experience under pressure. Even though they have a poor away record recently they have more chances to score and win.
The home team tries to play defensive is impossible in the light of the goals they have been conceding. There is no defense literally for the home team. They have conceded a whopping 22 goals already.
