Match preview

The League One playoff chase still has a congested look to it and both Plymouth and Sunderland are heading to the season's conclusion in good form.

The Pilgrims suffered a setback when they fell to a 2-0 defeat at Wycombe on Friday but they have not conceded in their last six home matches, winning all six of them.

Sunderland, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their last eight games so they are unlikely to fear the long trip to Devon.

Alex Neil's Black Cats have lost just two of their last 13 away league games, but six of those games finished in draws and this pair look evenly matched.

Consequently, in a game in which plenty will be at stake, the stalemate appears to be generously priced at 12-5.
