- Plymouth Argyle have won four of their last five matches, including their last three.
- Burton Albion have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five in all competitions.
- Plymouth's home record in League One 2026/2027 comprises two wins, zero draws and one defeat (W2, D0, L1).
Argyle are in flying form
Plymouth Argyle have established a solid base in third place in League One 2026/2027 with 13 points from seven games, while Burton Albion, who have nine from the same number of matches, arrive at Home Park as the Brewers in 12th place.
Tom Cleverley has done a fantastic job at Pilgrims since taking charge in June 2025, instilling a clear system and philosophy that is seeing the club set the pace in the promotion race. His preferred 3-at-the-back system and high-pressing style has caused many a problem for teams both with and without the ball, and they should dominate territory in this fixture.
Plymouth's last three results have seen them win 3-2 at Doncaster Rovers, beat Barnsley 3-0 at the Home Park before landing a crucial three points with a 4-2 victory at Blackpool. The Pilgrims are full of cutting edge at the moment and that's a big positive to have in a promotion race.
Burton will be tough to crack
Gary Bowyer has done a good job at Burton since taking the job in December 2024 and his pragmatic approach of sitting in a compact three-man defence before hitting teams on the counter should not be underestimated.
Finn Delap is a lively focal point for Burton up top and is the club's top League One 2026/2027 scorer with two goals in five appearances, but they will do well to contain the likes of Aribim Pepple, who is Plymouth's leading scorer with two in six.
Burton are not in bad form with one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five, but we can only see this going one way on the day and Plymouth should be able to force their way through a disciplined, low block eventually. The Pilgrims' home average of 2.00 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game tell us that Burton will get chances, but the form and the odds both point to a home win.
Our main selection for this one will be Plymouth in the outright market, while the odds of 7/10 about over 2.5 goals and Both Teams to Score also appeal in the correct score market.
