Plymouth prepare to entertain Blackpool at Home Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The Pilgrims are slightly behind, with 7 wins posted against 8 losses.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Home Park was less than a year ago, in October 2002, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a League Division Two match.
