Since a losing effort in their last game against Millwall in Championship action, Sheffield United and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In 5 of the previous six games featuring Sheffield United, a relatively low number of goals have been hit between them and opposing teams.

We will have to see if that trend will end up being sustained here.

🗞️ Team News: Plymouth Argyle

There aren’t many selection issues, with just the sole fitness concern for the Plymouth Argyle gaffer Miron Muslic to be concerned with from a near full-strength set of players. Maksym Taloverov (Knee injury) is sidelined.

ℹ️ Team News: Sheffield United

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has not got a full squad to pick from. Rob Holding (Ankle surgery), Jamie Shackleton (Foot injury) and Oliver Arblaster (Cruciate ligament tear) are those who can’t be considered.

💡 Prediction

In this game, Plymouth Argyle are certainly able to put a goal past this Sheffield United side, although just one goal may not quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.

Our selection here is for a narrow 1-2 victory for Sheffield United at the end of this one. Should be a good one.
