Recent respective form guides
Plymouth Argyle's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Pilgrims have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Rotherham U.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.
Plymouth Arg. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 34 points from 31 matches. Rotherham U. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 31 games have yielded only 21 points.
