Plymouth Argyle vs Swindon Predictions

• Plymouth have won their last 5 home league matches, plunging home 13 goals in the process. 
• Plymouth have scored an average of 2.09 goals a game at home in League 2 this season.
• Swindon have kept a clean sheet in just 1 of their last 6 away games.
• Swindon have conceded twice in their last 2 away outings.

Plymouth looking for another home win

After suffering relegation from League 1 last term and coming into the season with a strong squad on paper, Plymouth were pencilled in as promotion favourites before the campaign began. Just 3 points behind the automatic promotion spots with a game in hand, the hosts are certainly in the mix and will want to kick on in the second half of the season.

Whilst their away form is highly inconsistent, Plymouith’s home record is very good and that leaves confidence high coming into Wednesday’s game. The side have won their last 5 home league matches whilst scoring 13 times and having plunged in an average of 2.09 goals a game in League 2 at Home Park, their firepower in front of the home crowd is there for all to see.

Swindon looking to stay top

Meanwhile, after underwhelming with a 13th place finish last season, Swindon were hoping to play more of a part in the promotion picture this season. Top going into the New Year with an impressive 46 points from 24 games, the visitors are certainly doing that and will be hoping to keep their momentum going until the end of the season.

Nonetheless, as good as they’ve been so far this season, there is a degree of vulnerability about the side heading into this fixture. Having kept a clean sheet in just 1 of their last 6 away games, a trip to Home Park looks a daunting one and having conceded twice in their last two away outings, things are going to have to tighten up in Swindon’s back line if they are to secure a positive result.

Plymouth have to be fancied

Ultimately, both sides have already shown this season that they are real forces and that makes this clash a very interesting one. Nonetheless, Plymouth’s home performances have been outstanding and that fact in combination with Swindon’s less than convincing defensive efforts on the road does have you fancying the hosts’ chances of taking maximum points.

All things considered, we do believe Plymouth will win this game and see good value at backing a home win at current prices. Plymouth’s firepower as hosts is remarkable and with Swindon finding it hard to shut opponents out on their travels, we fancy the hosts to run out 2-1 winners; a margin by which they’ve won 2 of their last 3 home league games.
