- Plymouth Argyle have not yet lost a game at home.
- Doncaster Rovers have the fewest scored goals (3) in League One
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Plymouth and Doncaster Rovers.
Plymouth Argyle form and stats
Plymouth Argyle have played 4 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-0 (wins-draws-losses).
Plymouth travelled for their previous game, a trip to Portsmouth that ended 2-2. Ryan Hardie, who plays in attack, was the top player for the team in that game, earning a rating of 9.02 (out of 10). Hardie scored two goals and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
A strong away win before that one, visiting AFC Wimbledon and winning 1-0.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 Argyle have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won six times, drawn two and lost two.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Plymouth, as the League One home game vs Crewe Alexandra is only three days away.
A decent goal production from Plymouth Argyle in their home games so far, with 6 goals from 4 league matches. Plymouth have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
Doncaster Rovers form and stats
The manager R. Wellens is not happy with the away performances in the League One so far, as all 4 matches have been lost. It's all red in the travel logs of Doncaster Rovers, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.
Doncaster are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the EFL Trophy against Manchester City U21.
Before that, Doncaster secured a home win against Morecambe with the score 1-0.Doncaster are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, zero draws and five defeats. From a total of nine matches.
The schedule is very tough for Doncaster now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at Ipswich Town is waiting in only three days.
Goals are few and far between in Doncaster Rovers's away league games. Only 1 goal from 4 travels. Doncaster struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 7 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: five - one - four (Plymouth Argyle wins - draws - Doncaster Rovers wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
