The story so far…
Plymouth are flying - 12 points from a possible 15 has them second in the table and with maximum points on the road, the Pilgrims will be full of confidence.
Head to Head:
Boro have only met Plymouth twice – both coming last season. A last minute penalty for the Pilgrims helped them to a 1-1 draw down in Cornwall and another last minute goal, this time for us was enough for a 1-0 victory at the Lamex.

Betting with Sky Bet:
Boro are underdogs with the bookies for the win – 9/5 with official league sponsors, Sky Bet.
After getting his first goal of the season last weekend, Tom Hitchcock will be hoping to add to his tally and he is 13/2 to score first.
Although he is yet to find the net this season, Dean Parrett is great value in the goalscoring markets – 12/1 to score first and 9/2 to score anytime.
