Plymouth Argyle vs Crewe Predictions

• Plymouth Argyle have won three of their last five games and are currently in fourth position.
• Crewe have won four in a row and are unbeaten in seven games.
• Plymouth have scored 51 goals so far this season, averaging 1.64 goals per game.
• Crewe have scored 59 goals, an average of 1.84 goals per game.

Can Plymouth cut the gap on the top three?

Plymouth currently sit three points outside the automatic promotion places after a good run of form since the New Year saw them rise up the table. A recent loss to Colchester is the only blot on their record over the past few weeks but they’ll be keen to pick up another win and potentially climb into the top three.

Plymouth are one of only three sides to score 50 or more goals this season, averaging 1.64 goals per game this season. This average has been maintained over their recent patch of form too but they have conceded more over the past few weeks with their average goals conceded rising from 1.12 goals per game to 1.6 goals per game.

Could Crewe claim top spot this weekend?

Crewe have been in great form in recent weeks, winning four in a row and now going seven games unbeaten. A win in this game and a draw or loss for Swindon would send Crewe top of the league, a result that Alexandra would more than deserve following their great run of form.

Crewe are the top scorers in the division this season, netting 59 times in 32 games, a rate of 1.84 goals per game. Over the past five games this rate has risen to two goals per game however and the side will be keen to keep their excellent run of form going.

Which side takes a big step towards promotion?

Both teams are pushing hard to gain promotion into League One and this game should be full of chances as both sides look to gain an advantage in the run in. The form that Crewe are currently in means they just have the edge though and we’re backing them on the double chance market meaning a draw or win is enough for our prediction to come through.

We think Crewe have enough about them to take all three points this weekend with Plymouth prone to lapses in form and concentration at the back. Crewe have scored two goals in each of their last five games and we think they will do so again this weekend and are backing them to emerge as 2-1 winners.
