Plymouth v Huddersfield

Plymouth vs Huddersfield Preview

This Saturday will mark the start of a new chapter in the history of Plymouth Argyle as they return to the Championship after a 13-year absence when they take on Huddersfield Town at Home Park, no doubt seeking a winning start to this new campaign.

Seasons spent in League Two and League One were a result of disastrous campaigns which saw Plymouth suffer back-to-back relegations, firstly from the Championship in 2010 and then League One the following season, so it's been a long road back to the English second tier for The Pilgrims.

However, Plymouth Argyle enjoyed an excellent campaign in last season's League One as they grabbed the third tier title having amassed 101 points in total and winning their last six league matches on the trot which included a 1-0 victory away from home against arch-rivals, Exeter City.

Plymouth will now head into Saturday afternoon's clash though looking to avoid a sixth defeat on the trot in the second tier as the west country outfit had been relegated on the back of five defeats on the trot, so they'll be eager to make amends here this weekend.

Huddersfield Town will be keen to pick up where they left off at the end of last season when they make the long trip down to the west coast to take on newcomers, Plymouth Argyle, after finishing last term with a flourish by way of three wins on the trot.

Victories against Cardiff City, Sheffield United and Reading confirmed Huddersfield's Championship status for another season which was in no small part due to the skilful managerial exploits of experienced manager, Neil Warnock.

Warnock has agreed to continue at the helm for another season with The Terriers whom he guided to safety with an excellent finish to the season, losing just once in their last 10 league matches and picking up no fewer than six wins in the process.

Warnock took over at Huddersfield Town in mid-February with The Terriers sitting second from bottom in the table and five points adrift of safety, so it was indeed a remarkable turnaround in fortunes for the Yorkshire club who will now be looking to push on under Warnock in this campaign as well.

Plymouth Argyle v Huddersfield Town Verdict

Plymouth Argyle have won 15 of their last 17 home games at Home Park but this upcoming clash with Huddersfield Town will arguably be their biggest test as The Pilgrims look to make a positive start to life back in the Championship.

Huddersfield Town on the other hand will fancy their chances against one of the newcomers to the division this Saturday and will feel they bring winning momentum into this clash having won the final three games of last season on the trot.

Therefore, our main bet will be Huddersfield Town win @ 3.10
