Stevenage – Plymouth

Stevenage host Plymouth in what promises to be a tightly contested clash near the top of the table. The home side sit ninth with nine points from six games, having won two, drawn three and lost once while boasting a modest +4 goal difference (11‑7). Plymouth sit just above them in sixth, carrying ten points after three victories, a single draw and two defeats, and a +2 margin (10‑8). With only a single point separating the two, the encounter could see the Pilgrims leapfrog the Boro if they can convert their slightly better record into a win at the Lamex Stadium. Both teams will be eager to tighten the gap to the playoff places, making the fixture a pivotal one in the mid‑season sprint.
