Championship, played Wednesday, January 22nd, 2025
Here is our Plymouth v Burnley tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a Burnley away win. Our confidence in this pick was high relative to other picks.
Plymouth Argyle's promising three draws on the trot in the Championship did not last long as The Pilgrims were handed a 1-0 defeat at home to QPR last Saturday but the west country hosts have another chance to redeem themselves on Wednesday night at Home Park, albeit in another tough fixture against third placed Burnley.
Burnley gained a point in a 0-0 draw at home with Sunderland last Friday night in the English second tier but nevertheless, The Clarets extended their unbeaten sequence to 14 games overall and the visitors know all three points down at Plymouth on Wednesday night could see Scott Parker's side draw level on points with Leeds United.
Plymouth Argyle have had to endure a wretched campaign in the Championship this season which has yielded just four wins out of a total of 27 matches to date but one can't help but feel they brought it upon themselves to some extent by appointing Wayne Rooney as manager following his exit from relegated Birmingham City.
The Pilgrims' current winless run in the Championship has now stretched to a dismal 13 games which consists of seven defeats and being involved in six draws, but the hosts' one glimmer of hope for this upcoming encounter against Burnley is the fact that all four of Plymouth Argyle's wins so far this term have been achieved at Home Park.
Burnley, on the other hand, bring a solid looking 14-match unbeaten sequence into this upcoming midweek clash down on the west coast which consists of eight wins and six draws which has helped the Lancashire side into third place and just three points within the league leaders, Leeds United.
The visitors have been involved in a number of stalemates though in recent times and in fact, three of Burnley's last four games have ended in draws, so The Clarets will be desperate to ensure they pick up all three points at Home park on Wednesday night to avoid falling too far behind the top two clubs in the table.
Having suffered just the two defeats so far throughout this season's campaign in the English second tier though, Burnley will no doubt fancy their chances of collecting all three points against a beleaguered Plymouth Argyle outfit.
Indeed, Burnley have picked up five wins from their last seven unbeaten outings on the road which consists of victories gained at Bristol City, Stoke City, Norwich City, Sheffield United and Blackburn Rovers respectively, along with keeping six clean sheets into the bargain as well.
Plymouth Argyle v Burnley Verdict
Burnley have won the last three meetings on the trot against Plymouth Argyle and the visitors look the more solid and reliable to grab the three points here down in Devon on Wednesday night.
Therefore, our main bet will be Burnley win @ 1.65
