Plymouth Argyle are looking to take a giant step towards promotion to the Championship this weekend as they face Cambridge United in League One.
Plymouth Argyle currently sit top of League One with twenty-seven wins, eight draws and seven losses from forty-two games this season.
Plymouth have been a revelation this season and they now find themselves just four games, or potentially less, from promotion back to the Championship.
Things are nail-bitingly tight at the top of League One, though, so they can't afford many major slip ups from here until May 7th and they'll be glad they've got one of the easier run-ins on paper.
They enter this game in decent form having won four of their last five matches, the most recent of which was a dramatic 2-1 win away at Shrewsbury Town in midweek.
The scores were level at 1-1 heading into stoppage time before Callum Wright notched a thrilling 96th minute winner to send the Plymouth fans into delirium.
It's results like these that are characteristic of champions and it makes one believe that The Pilgrims have the metal to see out this tense promotion push.
Despite losing their most recent home game Plymouth's record on their own patch has generally been good of late having won three of their last four.
Plymouth cannot afford to drop a single point here and on paper they shouldn't do.
Cambridge United currently sit 21st in League One with eleven wins, seven draws and twenty-four losses from forty-two games this season.
It's been a dire campaign for a Cambridge side that are staring relegation in the face with just four games on the season remaining.
They have, though, given themselves a lifeline with a good run of form in recent weeks as they enter this game having won three of their last five matches.
They did lose their most recent encounter, however, as they fell to a 1-2 defeat at home to Wycombe Wanderers, a result that brought a end to a four-match unbeaten run.
They still look well positioned to secure survival from here despite sitting in the relegation zone as their form is superior to that of the teams around them.
Their away record is poor overall but they do enter this game having taken four points from their last two games on the road so despite the fact they're playing the side top of the league they can still hold some optimism that they can scrape what would be an unlikely result.
For our Plymouth vs. Cambridge prediction, we're going for a 2-1 win for the home side.
