Plymouth Argyle (home)
- Plymouth Argyle FC have won 3 of their last 5 League One games.
- Plymouth’s odds of 1.94 are very good for a team with 11 more points than Rotherham (Plymouth are 11th with 46 points after 33 games, Rotherham 23rd with 31 from 31).
- Tom Cleverley has done a great job since joining the club in June 2025 and his possession-based, high-pressing game has made Plymouth a much more adaptable and dangerous side than under the previous regime.
- They have a big target up front in Lorent Tolaj, who has scored 14 goals in 26 League One appearances, but they are also a threat from deep as they rotate positions and pull players into wide areas.
- The Pilgrims have won two of their last three away games and have won eight and scored 27 goals in 16 away League One matches.
Rotherham United (away)
- Rotherham United FC are without a win in their last 5 league games.
- Rotherham are a disjointed and uncoordinated football team, but they are moving in the right direction under Matthew Hamshaw, who was recently appointed by the club.
- He has tried to instil more structure on the field, making Rotherham a more physical team who play with a back three and wing-backs.
- They score from set pieces and are a threat in transition, but don’t have the quality to keep possession in dangerous areas and have been struggling for goals lately with Sam Nombe, who has seven in 16 League One games, now their best target man.
Head-to-Head
Plymouth Argyle FC have beaten Rotherham United FC twice already in League One 2025/2026.
Key Players

- They score from set pieces and are a threat in transition, but don’t have the quality to keep possession in dangerous areas and have been struggling for goals lately with Sam Nombe, who has seven in 16 League One games, now their best target man.
- Aribim Pepple has bagged five of Plymouth’s last 13 goals in their previous five matches and can punish Rotherham’s central defenders on Saturday.
Betting Insights

- The Over 2.5 goals bet looks good at 1.85.
Prediction
- Plymouth should get the win.

- There should be goals in this contest as the clash of playing styles could see both teams exposed at some stage of the game.
