Pilgrims' progress to be left unchecked by Robins
Plymouth Argyle are seeking their sixth straight win when they welcome Cheltenham Town to Home Park for an EFL League One game under the lights on Tuesday evening. The hosts have shrugged off losing Ryan Lowe to Preston North End in the tier above, rallying around assistant-turned-manager Steven Schumacher. His side can solidify their grip on a play-off spot against a side with little now to compete for on paper. Read our preview here:
The Lord Mayor's show
The mid-February defeats to Cambridge United and Rotherham United respectively represent the only points dropped in the last 10 fixtures, in turn reversing what had hitherto been a gentle slide outside of top six contention. This has been achieved on the back of a stout defence and some consummate trickery in midfield, especially from the likes of Danny Mayor. The 31 year old doesn't always have the stats to underline his skills, but he's an important cog in the hosts' ability to quickly progress to the final third.
May day!
During a campaign in which many pundits predicted a swift return to the basement division for the visitors, Mike Duff has only further enhanced his reputation as a manager by potentially steering the Robins to a top half finish. Versatile attacker Alfie May has hit 21 goals in all competitions, but it has been the emphasis on a team ethic that has seen them silence the doubters.
Betting tip
Already on 50 points, Cheltenham's season is all but over in terms of high drama. Plymouth ought to take advantage of that, and bet365 have odds of 3.10 for them to be winning both at half and full-time.
