Promotion hopefuls face off
This Saturday's League One meeting between Plymouth Argyle FC and Huddersfield Town looks like a fixture for the promotion hopefuls in 2026-2027, with the Pilgrims top of the table on 19 points from 10 games and the Terriers 4th with 16 from nine.
The Pilgrims are the form team, however, with four wins and one defeat from their last five, including a three-game winning streak. After a 2-2 draw and penalty win at Newport County in the EFL Trophy, Argyle beat AFC Wimbledon 2-1 at home in League One on Tuesday.
Tom Cleverley's men are a compact unit who know how to control the rhythm of a game and pick their moments to counter-press. They are also capable of going toe-to-toe with most teams in the division, particularly on their own patch, where they average 1.60 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per-game from five home games.
Huddersfield’s high line can be exploited
Huddersfield are in decent enough form themselves, having just come off a 5-0 home rout of Rochdale in the EFL Trophy and a 2-2 draw at home to Sheffield Wednesday in League One, but Martin Drury's side are a little too open for our taste.
The 3-at-the-back system puts the players on the front foot, but using wing-backs and high pressing can leave you open to the counterattack, particularly in the wide areas where Drury's men like to play.
The odds for Plymouth to win are 3/2, which is obviously preferable to Huddersfield's 39/25 and the draw at 13/5, but the main selection here is for both teams to score at 1/2, which is far too short.
Over 2.5 goals is also a touch short at 13/20, but this match is likely to be tight and frantic as Plymouth try to punish Huddersfield's high line and the Terriers look to overload the flanks, so we are happy to take those odds.
Aribim Pepple can get some joy against the visitors
Plymouth beat the Terriers 3-1 in League One six months ago and can again enjoy an edge at their home ground, so they are the narrow selection here with a chance to win.
Aribim Pepple will likely be the danger man for the hosts, given he has already bagged three goals in eight League One appearances for the club and has been on form in the past month, scoring three times in Plymouth's last five.
Joe Taylor, the livewire in Huddersfield's side and the League One top scorer with five goals in seven matches, can also make his presence felt at the other end.
