Plymouth Argyle form and stats

Plymouth Argyle have collected 25 points from their League One home games so far after 7-4-3. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

A good away victory last time out for Plymouth, who won 1-0 against Accrington Stanley (placed 8th). Before that, Plymouth played out a draw 2-2 when visiting Portsmouth.

This is expected to be a close game, with Plymouth perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Plymouth Argyle as a small favourite), we find nine games. Plymouth Argyle has won three of these, drawn three and lost three.

Plymouth have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Home Park with 22 goals in 14 league matches. Plymouth have conceded 19 in these home matches.

Fleetwood Town form and stats

Fleetwood Town have only collected 12 points from their away games in the League One, after 3-3-7 (13 played).

Fleetwood are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the League One against Doncaster Rovers (placed 5th). Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Bristol Rovers.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 17 similar matches played by Fleetwood Town in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Fleetwood Town, two draws and twelve defeats.

Fleetwood are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 13 games (in the league). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Fleetwood Town have seen the ball go into their own net 15 times on the road.

Head 2 Head
