Plymouth (Home)
- Plymouth have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five, but their home record this season is just two wins, one draw and three defeats in six.
- The Pilgrims are down in 18th after collecting 13 points from their opening 11, but they will probably still be expected to do better by season’s end.
- Tom Cleverley’s side have shown some decent signs of life recently and come into this clash off the back of two successive draws with Wigan Athletic and Mansfield Town.
- Plymouth can overload sides and press high up the field with real effect, but there are still areas of concern, particularly defensively at the Home Park.
AFC Wimbledon (Away)
- AFC Wimbledon have won four and drawn one of their last five, including a 2-0 away win at Blackpool last time out.
- Johnnie Jackson’s Dons have made a brilliant start to life in England’s third tier, sitting 5th in the standings with 22 points from their first 12 games.
- Jackson has fashioned a side that is very disciplined, compact and tough to break down with a back three and wing-backs that press very aggressively, making this Plymouth Argyle FC vs AFC Wimbledon prediction an intriguing one for neutral fans.
