When Plymouth Argyle takes on a Lincoln City team hoping to bounce back from last weekend's setback in the capital, they will be hoping to score their first points.
Plymouth Argyle and Lincoln City Team News & Updates Midway through the week, Lincoln experienced yet another injury setback, further taxing their already thin roster.
Jack Moylan will miss tomorrow's match after being pulled off on Tuesday night due to a knee injury. The Irishman has an MRI scheduled.
Ben House should be involved soon because he is back on the pitch, albeit wearing a mask after breaking his nose.
Adam Jackson is suspended after being sent off six days ago, and Reeco Hackett has resumed training after suffering a back injury that prevented him from playing in the League Cup match.
Ayman Benarous's first start in more than three years gave the Pilgrims a significant boost in the middle of the week.
He had not played for his former club, Bristol City, since April 2022 due to hamstring surgery and two terrible knee injuries.
Prior to his injury problems, Benarous made a strong start to his career, making eleven Championship matches in his first season after being signed by Plymouth in the summer on a one-year contract.
Conor Hazard and Jack MacKenzie have not yet played this season, and captain Joe Edwards hobbled out against Barnsley on the first day. Brendan Galloway rounds out the Pilgrims' injured roster.
Plymouth Argyle and Lincoln City Wickens, Darikwa, Hamer, Bradley, Towler, McGrandles, Bayliss, Ring, Draper, Street, Collins are the predicted starting lineups for Lincoln City (4-2-3-1).
Ashby-Hammond, Sorinola, Szucs, Palsson, Galloway, Ibrahim, Boateng, Amaechi, Watts, Mumba, and Oseni for Plymouth Argyle (4-2-3-1)
Important First Battle:
Tom Hamer vs. Owen Oseni This afternoon, two players who haven't started a league game yet this season will probably face off against one another. Tom Hamer only played in half of City's League One games during his injury-plagued debut season with the Imps.
He started this season on the bench for the first two games, but after Jackson was sent off in the first half against AFC Wimbledon, he was brought on at halftime.
He will be eligible for at least two league starts until his teammate center-half returns from suspension after playing the entire ninety minutes against Harrogate in the middle of the week.
Owen Oseni's journey with the Pilgrims has started off challenging. He was an unutilised substitute against Bolton Wanderers last weekend, playing just six league minutes against Barnsley.
However, Oseni scored a brace in the second half of his complete debut match against Queens Park Rangers, making a significant impression.
He will be trying to maintain the form he had in the first half of last season two divisions higher this season after hitting double digits for Gateshead the previous season and then briefly playing for St. Mirren.
Crucial Conflict #2:
Interviews Build-Up of Domination Both managers have voiced their opinions ahead of the third League One match after Freddie Draper's frank statement after his goal against Harrogate Town.
Regarding his preparation for the season, City's forward stated that "the way I came back last year probably wasn't good enough for me." Regarding his preseason regimen, he continued, "I made sure my weight went down, I got leaner and stronger."
Regarding the Imps, Plymouth manager Tom Cleverley stated during his pregame press conference that "we know it will be tough, we know it'll be direct."
He is also well aware that, following a challenging start to the season, this is a crucial match for his team. In response to the accusations made by his opponent, Michael Skubala stated that his team is "front-footed" and "adaptable," and he added that he "isn't too fussed about what people call us."
Using League Cup Success in the Third Crucial
Battle After losing in the league the previous weekend, both of these teams advanced to the Carabao Cup's second round.
Plymouth overcame a two-goal deficit at halftime against Queens Park Rangers to defeat the Championship team 3-2 thanks to an incredible second half.
After the Sulphurites eliminated the Imps from the competition a year ago, Lincoln exacted revenge on Harrogate Town.
Swansea City will face the Pilgrims at the end of August, while Moylan, Draper, and Rob Street scored goals to set up a matchup with the victor of Tranmere Rovers vs. Burton Albion.
The bold prediction for the Lincoln City vs.Plymouth Argyle score is Lincoln City 1-1.
The Pilgrims will be eager to snap their losing streak tomorrow after dropping their last two League One games since relegation.
A draw against a team that was in the Championship the previous season would be a respectable result for the Imps, who have a few injuries to deal with.
