It's still early in the League Two season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Plymouth Argyle - Salford City preview!

Plymouth Argyle form and stats

The hosts won their first game here at Home Park, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Plymouth Argyle last season were 9 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses from 23 games. There’s a good atmosphere here at Home Park after three straight home wins.

Plymouth Argyle lost their last game at Newport County after a 0-1 scoreline. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Leyton Orient.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Plymouth Argyle have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won 10 Drawn 2 Lost 1.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Plymouth Argyle as they have a new game in only four days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Walsall are visiting.

Salford City form and stats

The visitors are W0-D0-L1 on the road this term.

Salford City's last game was the home draw against Port Vale (1-1). Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Leeds United.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Salford City in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Salford City, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Salford City now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Two game at Carlisle United is waiting in only four days.

It's early days yet, but Salford City has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels so far (1 game).
