Wednesday night sees the final trio of Football League Cup first round ties. In a key match, Wayne Rooney's Plymouth Argyle faced off against Michael Flynn's Cheltenham Town. Will our prediction favour the slow-starting Pilgrims of the Championship or the high-flying Robins of League Two?
Plymouth fans will be keen to see a reaction from their team after a dismal start to the season at the weekend. A 4-0 loss at Sheffield Wednesday, with just one shot on target, was not the start they wanted. Manager Rooney laid into his team after the game, calling the loss “not acceptable”.
They have a chance to put things right at Home Park in this League Cup game. The Pilgrims take on a Cheltenham Town side that they comfortably beat 5-1 in a pre-season friendly back in July. The manager and Plymouth fans will be keen to see a positive reaction from their team, especially considering their fine recent record against Cheltenham.
After some mixed results in pre-season, Michael Flynn's Cheltenham began the season last weekend with a 3-2 home victory over Newport County. It took an injury-time winner from Joel Colwill, his second goal of the game, to earn the Robins the win.
The visitors' recent record in this competition is not good. They have gone out in the first round in both of the past two seasons, losing 2-0 to Birmingham last season and 7-0 to Exeter City the year before.

Our Plymouth vs Cheltenham Town Prediction
Our prediction for the Plymouth Argyle vs. Cheltenham Town League Cup clash is: Plymouth to win!
Wayne Rooney was heavily critical of his players after the weekend's loss to Sheffield Wednesday and Argyle have a point to prove here. They also have a very good recent record against Cheltenham, including a big win in a pre-season friendly. At home, Plymouth are a stronger team and with plenty to prove to the manager, we expect them to claim a win against their League Two opponents here.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
