Blackburn Rovers take on Plymouth Argyle in the 37th round of games in the Championship on Saturday.
Josh Eustace's Blackburn are coming off a 1-1 midweek home draw with Millwall, with Sammie Szmodics canceling out Michael Obafemi's 54th-minute opener within nine minutes. They remain 17th in the standings, behind their upcoming opponents on goal difference.
Meanwhile, Ian Foster's Plymouth lost 1-0 at Sheffield Wednesday in midweek and are 16th in the points table, with the Pilgrims being just ahead of Blackburn. Djedi Gassama's 60th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two teams.

As is evident in their respective positions in the standings, both sides are languishing at the wrong end of the standings.
Their recent form also doesn't inspire much confidence, with the two sides having just one win between them in their last five games across competitions. Their recent head-to-head record is also dead-even, but Plymouth have taken their last two clashes without conceding.
The Pilgrims, though, have not scored in four of their last five outings, so expect the trend to continue in a narrow loss.
