Plymouth Argyle vs Charlton Predictions

• Charlton have won nine, drawn two and lost two of their 13 games under Johnnie Jackson.
• Plymouth have lost four and drawn one of their last five League One matches.
• Charlton’s last two away victories have both been by a score of 1-0.

Charlton’s charge up the table should continue

Charlton continue to pick up good results under caretaker Johnnie Jackson and there’s no reason to suspect that will change when they visit out-of-form Plymouth Argyle on Saturday.

The Addicks have won nine of their 13 matches since Nigel Adkins was replaced by the popular ex-midfielder with two good away wins at Sunderland and Burton right at the start of his tenure suggesting victory at Home Park is well within their compass.

The Pilgrims were actually top of League One when these sides last met a few weeks ago, but Charlton’s 2-0 win at the Valley was the beginning of a five-game winless run that has seen Argyle drop to sixth place.

Schumacher yet to solve problem of slow starts

Ryan Lowe lost his last three games in charge before departing, but Steven Schumacher is still awaiting lift-off since he took over with a 1-1 draw at MK Dons followed by a 2-1 loss at Sunderland. There’s been a lack of tempo early in games that has seen Plymouth fall behind in their last five games and doing so again to Charlton could be fatal.

The Addicks have finished strongly in their last three games, all won 2-0, and we believe they can take the spoils with a clean sheet in Devon on Saturday. However, as Plymouth have only conceded more than once in two of their 11 home games to date, our fancy is for a 1-0 final score.
