Plymouth Argyle vs Northampton Predictions

Blunt visitors look set for defeat

Plymouth are the best bet to beat Northampton at Home Park on Saturday. The visitors are finding it hard to score this season and that could lead to a home win.

Northampton are six places above Plymouth in the table, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. The hosts sit 23rd having won five and lost ten of their 16 games, while Northampton are 17th with six wins and eight defeats.

The visitors have been struggling to keep clean sheets lately. Northampton have failed to prevent their opponents from scoring in seven of their last nine League One games, and it is now six matches since they last recorded a shutout.

The visitors need to turn things around, having lost four of their last six League One matches.

They have been disappointing in front of goal away from home this season, scoring just four times in seven games – an average of 0.57 goals a game on the road. Northampton have blanked in four of their last six League One away games.
