Plymouth Argyle vs Cheltenham Town Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Carabao Cup 2024-25

Plymouth Argyle are hoping for a better season under new manager Wayne Rooney.

Plymouth Argyle will be hoping for a positive season this term under their new manager Wayne Rooney who is appointed to guide the team to the Premier League after a poor season last term where they narrowly survived relegation. 

They finished in the 21st spot in the Championship last term which was enough for a change in the dugout with Rooney taking the hotseat for the new season. Despite suffering a defeat in the opening match of the new campaign, we expect them to return to winning ways here. 

Unlike Plymouth, Cheltenham Town have started their new season on a winning note. The team secured a 3-2 win over Newport to open their League Two season with a win.

A brace from Joel Colwill and a goal from Liam Dulson were enough to secure the three points. At one point, it looked like both the teams would share the points after being 2-2 in the 90 minutes. However, Colwill struck a late winner in 90+6 minutes to grab the win.

Players to Watch

Ryan Hardie (⁠Plymouth Argyle)

The Scottish international has been a loyal servant for the team after smashing over 165 appearances scoring 51 goals in the process. This will be his sixth season for the club after making his move from Blackpool back in 2019. Hardie brings a new dimension to this team with his movements and hold-up play particularly helping the team soak up the pressure upfront. 

Joel Colwill (Cheltenham Town)

The latest addition to the squad from Cardiff City on loan, Colwill has made an instant impact for the team after scoring a brace in his debut match against Newport to already become a fan favorite here. The 19-year-old plays as an attacking midfielder and has been putting on performances beyond his age in his new team. Hopefully, this season can be a breakthrough year for him.
