Plymouth lock horns with QPR in the 27th round of games in the EFL Championship on Saturday. Both sides are in the bottom half of the points table.
Miron Muslic's Plymouth are coming off a 1-1 home draw with newly promoted Oxford United on Tuesday. Will Vaulks' 44th-minute opener for Oxford was canceled out by Rami al Hajj 18 minutes into the second period as a share of the spoils ensued.
Despite playing out a third straight stalemate, the Pilgrims remain dead-bottom in the standings, with 24 points from 26 games, winning five. However, 23rd-placed Luton Town - who have lost their last three games - are just a point in front.

Plymouth vs QPR prediction
Both sides have struggled to get going this season, especially Plymouth, who occupy the wooden spoon despite a recent upturn in form.
Plymouth enjoy a slender head-to-head advantage in the fixture and have lost just once in their last 14 league meetings with QPR, winning four. However, most of their recent meetings - including their last three - have ended in stalemates.
The Hoops, though, have been one of the form teams in the league since December, garnering 17 points in eight games, the most in the competition after leaders Leeds (18). So, we expect them to eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: Plymouth 1-2 QPR
