Plymouth Argyle vs Carlisle United Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

It’s a massive match at the top of League Two, as second placed Plymouth Argyle host third placed Carlisle United and we are backing both teams to go for it in an end to end match. We think there will be over 2.5 goals scored and this is priced at 9/10 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think that Plymouth will be able to see off the visitors and we are backing them to claim a 2-1 victory at 8/1 with the same site.

Plymouth boss Derek Adams will be a frustrated man, as he has watched his side close the gap to league leaders Doncaster only to fail to win in their previous four league games and allow Rovers to once again open up a cushion. That blip in form also means that Saturday’s visitors have closed the gap to just four points, although Carlisle boss Keith Curle will also have his own frustrations after back to back defeats.

Despite this dip in form, both sides are known in the division for their attacking prowess and between them they have scored an impressive 108 goals from their 67 games this season. This attacking power has not stopped Plymouth from being an effective unit at the back, as they boast the third best defensive record in the division, although with no clean sheet in their previous four games it’s a stat which is coming under increasing pressure.

Defensive stability is something that cannot be said for Carlisle however, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in the previous 22 games and with 49 goals conceded this season they have the 17th worst record in League Two.
