Plymouth Argyle - Birmingham City predictions

With 2.26 on home win, the ground is level and three points are everyone’s to take. However, we’d still recommend backing Plymouth Argyle who should end up victorious in the end against Birmingham City.

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Plymouth Argyle on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

Plymouth Argyle entered their previous league match with a price of 1.71 to win, so the 3:2 victory they eventually secured is hardly a glowing performance. They locked the 3 points, but their supporters at the Home Park expected a more convincing outcome.

The away team faced an uphill battle last round, and it’s no surprise that they ended up losing 2:3 to Leicester City. Championship betting odds made it quite clear that they were heavily outmatched, so the HT/FT defeat was in line with most betting predictions.

With 6 concessions over the last 3 matches, Plymouth Argyle will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

Looking over the visitors’ record in away games, it seems they don’t do well when they’re out of the comfort of their home field. They’ve recorded a worrying number of conceded goals in their previous 3 away games – more than 5, to be more precise.

The last time we saw these two squads play against each other was earlier in this Championship season. Plymouth Argyle narrowly lost. With the home-field advantage on their side this time, however, most bookies see them as the favourites.

This Saturday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1 odds offer a decent return.
