Plymouth Argyle vs Newport County Predictions

• Both teams have scored in 6 of Plymouth’s last 7 games.
• Both teams have scored in all of Plymouth’s last 4 home games.
• Both teams have scored in 6 of Newport’s last 9 league matches.
• Newport have scored at least once in 6 consecutive league matches.

Plymouth looking for 3 points

Having came into the season with hopes high of an immediate return to League Two, Plymouth are pretty much where they expected to be at the moment. Just 1 point short of the automatic spots and 5 points behind leaders Swindon, the hosts are having a good season and remain within touching distance of their promotion rivals.

Plymouth certainly come into Saturday’s game with plenty of momentum behind them and they’ve been playing well recently. Indeed, they’ve now won 11 of their last 15 league outings and having dropped just 2 points over their last 5 matches, their current form is that of title winners.

Newport hoping for a positive result

Meanwhile, matching last season’s run to the play-off final was always going to be a big ask for a club with Newport’s resources. Indeed, the side didn’t come into the session as anything close to promotion favourites and haven’t been quite as strong in the action we’ve seen so far; currently 11th and 8 points off the play-offs.

Nonetheless, Newport’s form has improved significantly in recent matches and if they can sustain that, they may well have an outside chance of breaking into the top 7 spots once again. Across all competitions, County have now won 4 of their last 5 games and that leaves confidence high prior to making the trip on Saturday. 

Plenty of action is expected

Ultimately, we’re expecting Saturday’s game to be an open and exciting game. Plymouth are gunning for promotion, are one of the strongest outfits in the division and will be fully expecting to win this match but Newport are no pushovers and in their current form, we expect them to bring an aggressive and attacking game plan to Home Park.

All things considered, backing the Both Teams to Score line looks the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we’re happy to do with maximum confidence. Both nets have been hit in 6 of Plymouth’s last 7 games, as well as in their last 4 home fixtures and with 6 of Newport’s last 9 league matches having done the same, this shouldn’t be a low scoring affair. Newport will certainly ask Plymouth questions but we do think the hosts will be a bit too strong and fancy them to run out 2-1 winners.
