Plymouth Argyle vs Burton Albion Predictions

• Plymouth have lost just once this season, the least of any League One team
• The Pilgrims took 37 points from home games last season and just 16 from away matches
• Burton have won one away game so far this season
• Both teams have scored in Burton’s last four games in all competitions

Home comforts should be welcome for Pilgrims

Plymouth were tipped by some for relegation this season but have used their strong home form as a platform to see themselves into third position so far this campaign, just two points off top spot. Burton have also exceeded expectation, with 16 points from 11 games putting them just out of the playoff race.

Plymouth’s record at home has been good, with wins against Sheffield Wednesday, Gillingham and Doncaster. In fact, Simon Hallett’s side are unbeaten since their opening day defeat away to Rotherham and therefore are the only team in League One to lose just once.

Burton have won once on the road in five attempts and face a Plymouth back line who have conceded just 10 times so far this season, only three sides have kept it tighter at the back.

Both teams may find joy

Despite Plymouth’s good defensive record, both teams have scored in Burton’s last four in all competitions and our prediction is that they will do so again here.

Ryan Hardie is second in the top scorer leaderboard for League One with eight goals in 11 games and spearheads an attack that has found the net on 17 occasions so far this season.

The signing of Daniel Jebbison is a big coup for Burton and can help with their attacking output. Both teams have also found the net in Plymouth’s last four League One games and our correct score prediction is a 2-1 victory for the Pilgrims.
