Another week, another Plymouth tip!. We definitely hadn't planned on tipping the Pilgrims this week, with Peterborough recently appointing Steve Evans, and on a nice little run of 11 games with just one reversal, but the home form that Plymouth continue to show - notably with a terrific 4-0 thrashing of Southend last week - shows no sign of abating.

Since getting their act together in November, Plymouth have now won 10 of 11 home games - the only defeat coming to Wigan - and they have an overall goal difference in those games of 27-9. At times they have certainly ridden their luck, but the spirit in the camp has lifted them to ninth, with a game in hand. In short, they still need to keep winning, and a victory here would see them leapfrog a side who will be fighting until the last day of the season to end up in that top six.
Peterborough have won 11 games at home this season, but just five away - fewer than any other side in the top half (excepting Southend).
1pt Plymouth to beat Peterborough at 7/4 (Bet365)
Rotherham will be a side on plenty of punters accumulators today, riding high in fourth against Fleetwood who are down in 13th. But trusting the league table on this one could be a mistake, with the Millers struggling right now, and Fleetwood continuing to enjoy the new manager boost that John Sheridan brought with him in February and continues to ride seven games in!
Sheridan joined the Cod Army with the simple first task of stopping a ninth consecutive defeat. He acheived that in his first match, and now has his side unbeaten in seven - including five consecutive clean sheets. It's clear he's asked his side to get back to basics and grind out results, and they now look almost safe.
Rotherham have been excellent at home this season, and we certainly aren't saying they can't win this one. But with one win and four defeats from their last six, would they be our picks in an acca? No. We'll take the away side in this one at 9/2 in a host of places.
