Championship, played Friday, September 27th, 2024
Here is our Plymouth v Luton tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a tie. Our confidence in this pick was moderate relative to other picks.
Plymouth Argyle were unable to capitalise on their impressive 3-2 home win against Sunderland last weekend in the Championship as The Pilgrims slumped to a third league defeat following a 1-0 loss away from home at West Brom, while Luton Town made it two wins on the trot in the Championship last weekend with a 2-1 home win against Sheffield Wednesday and the visitors may well fancy their chances of walking away with something down in Devon on Friday night.
Plymouth Argyle once again find themselves in familiar territory in the early Championship standings as The Pilgrims occupy a place in the lower regions of the table having managed to pick up just the single win to date in this season's campaign.
Previous losses at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke City have done little to ease the hosts' early fears of becoming embroiled in another relegation battle this term, and having collected a meagre total of just four wins within their previous 18 matches overall in the English second tier, Wayne Rooney's side look to be up against it once more on Friday night.
A lack of goals has potential though in the goals market as seven of Plymouth's last 10 matches overall have resulted in Under 2.5 goals, while this number increases to eight games in their last 10 home games.
Luton Town will make their way down to the west country on Friday night no doubt seeking a third consecutive win in the Championship as The Hatters look to rebuild after suffering relegation from the Premier League at the end of last season.
A dubious and ultimately disappointing start to this new Championship campaign saw Luton Town fail to win any of their opening four games of the new season as Rob Edwards' side slumped to losses at the hands of fellow relegated Burnley along with defeats to Preston NE and QPR respectively.
However, Luton Town's spirits have been raised by capturing recent back-to-back wins against the likes of Millwall and Sheffield Wednesday and these victories will serve as a welcome boost ahead of this upcoming trip to Home Park.
Goals may also be in short supply from Luton Town's perspective as five of The Hatters' last 10 away games in all competitions have resulted in Under 2.5 goals but it should be noted that four of these games were towards the end of last season's Premier League campaign.
This season, each of Luton Town's three games on the road have produced two goals or less.
Plymouth Argyle v Luton Town Verdict
Three out of the last five meetings between Plymouth Argyle and Luton Town have resulted in Under 2.5 goals and another low-scoring affair looks set to unfold at Home Park on Friday night.
Therefore, our main bet will be Under 2.5 goals @ 2.20
Other side bets worth considering:
Draw @ 3.50
Correct Score: 1-1 @ 7.00
