Plymouth Arg. play host to Hartlepool United at Home Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Pilgrims are clearly on top, having won 5 and lost only 1 of the 9 games.
The last time the two teams met at Plymouth Arg. was back in November 2003, over five years ago, with Plymouth Arg. running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Plymouth Argyle's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Pilgrims have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Hartlepool U.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. Only 3 goals have been registered in this time, with 4 leaked at the wrong end.
Plymouth Arg. see themselves just below half way in the Npower League One, showing a record of 12 points from their 9 games played so far, Hartlepool U. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 9 points from 9 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Plymouth Arg. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Pilgrims will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
