Plymouth Argyle vs Stevenage
PLYMOUTH, England (Interstat) — Plymouth Argyle and Stevenage meet Tuesday in a League One fixture with both teams looking to build on positive weekend results and break a recent stalemate in their head-to-head series.
The match at Home Park kicks off at 7:45 p.m. local on March 17.
The teams played to a 1-1 draw at Stevenage on Jan. 1 in their most recent encounter, and the Interstat game simulator projects an identical scoreline for this matchup.
Plymouth (14-9-10) enters on a four-match unbeaten run in the league. The Pilgrims are coming off a 2-2 draw at Reading on Saturday, which followed a comprehensive 3-0 road victory at Wigan Athletic on March 10. Their form at Home Park has been strong, with three wins and a draw in their last four home fixtures across all competitions, including a 5-2 thrashing of Cardiff City on Feb. 21.
Stevenage (13-6-14) arrives after a morale-boosting 1-0 home win over AFC Wimbledon on Saturday. That result halted a two-game skid, which included a 2-1 loss to Leyton Orient on March 10. Their recent form has been inconsistent, with three wins, one draw and five losses in their last nine league outings. Their away record is mixed, having secured notable wins at Burton Albion and Port Vale in February but also suffering defeats at Wycombe, Northampton and Barnsley.
