📰 Team News: Plymouth Argyle

Herbie Kane (Groin injury) and Joe Ralls (Hamstring injury) won’t be able to feature for Plymouth Argyle boss Tom Cleverley.

It looks as if The Pilgrims should use the 4-4-2 formation for the game, beginning the first half with Conor Hazard, Joe Edwards, Mathias Ross, Alexander Mitchell, Wes Harding, Ronan Curtis, Malachi Boateng, B. Sarpong-Wiredu, Caleb Watts, Lorent Tolaj and Aribim Pepple.

There’s a good chance that The Bluebirds seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting Nathan Trott, Perry Ng, Gabriel Osho, Calum Chambers, Joel Bagan, Alex Robertson, David Turnbull, Ollie Tanner, Joel Colwill, Chris Willock and Omari Kellyman.

✨ Prediction

We’re thinking that Plymouth Argyle might have a difficult job to put one past this Cardiff City side who we think should score & stay on top.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a 0-1 victory for Cardiff City at the end of this game.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
