Southampton - Plymouth Argyle predictions

This match is somewhat one-sided, but not the most imbalanced clash we’ve seen. The odds are heavily in the hosts’ favour, who will likely walk away with 3 more points to the tally.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of Southampton and the fact that Plymouth Argyle are given 8.00 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

The Saints quickly emerged as the dominant side in their previous Championship showdown, which was hardly a surprise given the 1.50 odds on them winning. They easily confirmed what most predictions were expecting and recorded a 5:0 win.

Plymouth Argyle are coming on the back of a draw in both halves of their matchup at Cardiff City. They were fighting heavily unfavourable betting odds and a home-field disadvantage, though, so the unexciting draw is a fairly good result for them.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

With 7 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Plymouth Argyle’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that Southampton are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

Our tip is to risk an Over 3.5 Goals wager. The 1 are worth giving up the relative safety of a simpler Over 2.5. That said, it’s still a relatively riskier bet than what some punters might prefer.
