Plymouth Argyle

LDWLWL

Plymouth Argyle will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 2-1 Championship defeat in their last game at the hands of Middlesbrough.

In that game, Plymouth Argyle had 25% possession and 18 attempts on goal with 5 on target. The scorer for Plymouth Argyle was Mustapha Bundu (17'). At the other end, Middlesbrough got 22 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target. Finn Azaz (12') and Tommy Conway (93') scored for Middlesbrough.

It’s been seldom in recent games where Plymouth Argyle have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Plymouth Argyle have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 9 goals along the way. We will just have to see whether or not that trend can be sustained into this next match.

A look at their previous results shows us that Plymouth Argyle:

• are winless against Coventry City in their last 3 matches in the league.
• are undefeated in their previous 2 home league matches.

💡 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Plymouth Argyle could well find it tough to break down this Coventry City lineup who we think will get the vital goal that wins it.

We’re therefore anticipating a 0-1 win for Coventry City at the end of this one.

Hopefully it’s a good one.
