Plymouth Argyle form and stats

Only two League One home games for Plymouth Argyle so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.

The fans are hoping that Plymouth will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the EFL Trophy game against Cheltenham Town. Prior to that, an away loss at Hull City in the League One.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Plymouth have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won eight times, drawn three and lost two.

Plymouth Argyle has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Burton Albion form and stats

It's not happening yet for Burton Albion on their League One travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Burton Albion seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a EFL Trophy home defeat versus Cambridge United with 2-4 on the scoreboard. A 2-4 loss hosting Portsmouth before that.

A huge disappointment for Burton in their last match (vs Cambridge United). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-4 defeat. As you can tell from the result, the match against Cambridge United was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Burton Albion are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, one draw and four defeats. From a total of five matches.

Burton Albion have the goal stats of 3-6 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - three - six (Plymouth Argyle wins - draws - Burton Albion wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
