Leeds United - Plymouth Argyle predictions

With top online bookmakers pricing a home win at odds of 1.18, it’s hard to expect anything other than a decisive Leeds United victory. It’s a uniquely one-sided match – which rarely translates to a lot of excitement in the pitch.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of Leeds and the fact that Plymouth Argyle are given 17.00 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

An expected stalemate was all Leeds were able to take away from their trip to Bristol City in the last round of the Championship. They struggled to break through in the first half and ended up settling for a point against all odds.

Plymouth Argyle performed above most expectations in the previous round by securing a draw against Preston North End. Spurred on by their home supporters, they overcame their opponents’ first-half lead and ended the match 3:3.

The Whites’s attackers have been seeing a lot of success lately, even in away matches. For instance, they scored 7 times during the course of their previous three away games.

Plymouth Argyle’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 9 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

Looking back at the recent history of clashes between these two teams, the most notable example is a sound defeat Plymouth Argyle suffered last season. Partly thanks to the considerable goal difference The Whites secured in that match, they’re considered favourites to win the match on Saturday.

Saturday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

Going for a straight Result bet would severely limit your profits, so our advice is to throw in a -1.5 Asian Handicap for the favourites. This will still keep the odds in your favour at 1.82, but should do wonders for potential profitability.
