Today is the EFL Trophy matchday in the UK. Battling to finish first in Southern Group B of the EFL Trophy, Bristol Rovers welcome Plymouth Argyle to the Memorial Stadium on Tuesday. Darrell Clarke's Rovers may be in poor form overall, but they come into this clash undefeated in the EFL Trophy and have already qualified for the round of 16. Meanwhile, Tom Cleverley's Plymouth are in somewhat worse shape than their lower-tier opponents and are currently on a five-game losing streak. On Saturday, the Pilgrims followed up their 2-0 FA Cup elimination at the hands of Wycombe Wanderers with a 3-1 away defeat at Huddersfield Town. The latest defeat has left Cleverley's men stuck at the bottom of League One with just 13 points, though hope remains, considering they're just four points behind 20th-placed Leyton Orient and 19th-placed Exeter City. Plymouth will be desperate to halt their terrible form with another cup triumph this Tuesday. Injuries and international call-ups are leaving manager Tom Cleverley with little room for rotation. Six players are currently missing through injury, though Xavier Amaechi and Joe Edwards are expected to return before the end of 2025, while the likes of Caleb Watts are out until the new year. Despite this, these are two teams in different leagues, with the visitors significantly more valuable at 6,50 million vs 13,50 million. It seems risky, but Plymouth will need to use some of their remaining starters and will still have the hunger to break their poor run of results. I expect a proud victory here with results 0-1 / 0-2, Away win -gl
