Plymouth Argyle vs Crawley Town Predictions

• Plymouth have won their last 4 matches.
• Plymouth have scored 2 goals or more in each of their last 4 matches.
• Crawley Town have scored in each of their last 8 matches.
• Crawley Town have scored in 93% of their away matches.

Plymouth are in great form and look full of confidence

Plymouth are the most in form side in League 2 at the moment with an impressive 21 points coming from their last eight outings. Argyle will be delighted with that return and will be determined to continue this run for as long as possible as it has springboarded them from a play-off place to title contenders, a prospect which has only been made all the more realistic given that the current league leaders have just lost their top two goal scorers.

If the hosts are to continue with this impressive run of form, then they are going to have to ensure they remain as prolific in front of goal as they have been showing of late. Argyle boast an impressive 45 goals from their 27 matches so far and they have managed to find the back of the net 11 times in their last four league matches.

Getting over the line

It has been a frustrating few weeks for Crawley Town and their fans, as they have competed well in League 2 and put in some solid performances. However, the results have not reflected this recent upturn in form. The hosts have only managed to win three of their last nine outings and only one of them came in a convincing fashion, as they defeated Northampton in a dominant 4-0 win.

Crawley are able to find the back of the net on a fairly regular basis as they have scored in each of their last eight league matches, but with only one clean sheet in that same time frame, it is easy to see why they have not been able to convert more of those outings into wins. However, they will be delighted to have managed to get the three points at the weekend, although that concern about conceding regularly is something which still needs to be addressed as they twice had to get the ball out the back of their net.

The hosts simply look to strong

Unfortunately for Crawley, their chances of making it two wins in four days is an uphill challenge as they are coming up against the most in form side in League 2 at the moment. Added to the fact that Plymouth are in excellent shape at the moment is the fact that only two visiting sides have managed to take the points from Home Park in the league this season, and given how frequently the hosts are scoring, it is hard to imagine a situation where they don’t add a further three points to their tally.

In terms of a correct score tip, although we expect the hosts to win well, it seems likely that they will have to work hard for the points. The visitors have scored in each of their last eight league matches and in 93% of their away games overall. However, Plymouth have scored three times in three of their last four matches and are against a defence which has had limited time to prepare due to the short turnaround following the weekends fixtures. With this in mind, a 3-1 home win looks to be the way to go.
