Wolves vs Plymouth Match preview

English Championship: Wolves vs Plymouth

It`s a crucial game at Molineux against Plymouth that Wolves must win in order to make play-offs. Not even that would be enough if Crystal Palace win over Burnley, so tough offensive and intense pressure on visitors are expected. Plymouth are not without chances for this game, but with motives of a different kind.

Wolves in hunt for three points

Wolves managed to draw away game against Coventry (1:1), thus preventing them from ensuring survival one round before end. It was an open and exciting game with many opportunities for both sides since both rivals were seeking a chance to get hold of all 3 points: home side needed it for survival and visitors for play-off. It seems a draw did no good to both teams.

This is a game Wolves must win if they want to keep their hopes of reaching 6th place alive, but the situation is not under their control since they also depend on C.Palace not winning over Burnley. Mick McCarthy`s team are back in good shape with just 1 defeat in last 9 games, but it might be too late for them to repeat the success from last year, when the made play offs but were defeated to WBA.

Pilgrims will not surrender

Plymouth are without play-off chances for few rounds now, but management and squad do their best to reach best league placement in club`s history. Manager Ian Holloway reached 11th place in Championship with this team last season, and Paul Sturrock will try to surpass it .

That`s why it was no wonder Pilgrims confronted Blackpool with maximum effort, grit and offensive, winning 3:0. Jermaine Easter fired Plymouth ahead, Fallon doubled the lead and also made it 3:0. Plymouth now need only one point at Molineux in order to remain at 10th place, thus improving their last year`s score.

Betting verdict

It will probably be much more suspense game than odds suggest. Neither team are likely to give up regardless of the fact that Plymouth are playing just for prestige and Wolves for play-off spot. Still, Wolves are in good form, they hold the advantage of home soil and play for much greater stake. That is why we will give them a minor advantage, with necessary caution.
