Stevenage
- While Stevenage Borough may be flying high in fifth place with 36 points from their 20 league matches to date, Plymouth Argyle are languishing in 20th with 25 points from 22 matches ahead of their League One 2025-2026 clash on Thursday.
- Stevenage have won one, drawn two, and lost two of their last five in the league.
- Stevenage have won five, drawn three, and lost just one of their nine home league matches to date.
Plymouth Argyle
- The visitors have won three of their last five games but have also lost two.
- Tom Cleverley took over as Plymouth boss in June 2025 and his new-look side are the embodiment of his progressive, possession-based philosophy, where the ball is moved rapidly at pace, players maintain their positional discipline, and an intense high press is applied.
- The Pilgrims have won each of their last two away matches but have lost six of their 11 away league games overall, which tells us that Cleverley’s project is still a work in progress.
- Away from home, Plymouth have conceded a high average of 1.73 goals per game in League One, which indicates that there is still some vulnerability in their make-up.
Key Players
- Up front, Lorent Tolaj is a dangerous weapon in the Plymouth ranks, the Kosovan forward has bagged 11 goals in 19 league appearances, including four in his last five.
- Stevenage Borough are a very different outfit, Alex Revell’s men have a more pragmatic and compact style, sitting in a mid-block and looking to hit teams on the counter, while their physicality and set-piece threat has seen them score 1.22 goals per home match.
Betting Insights
- With 36 points from 20 games, Stevenage are flying high in the division and a recent run of one win, two draws, and two defeats in their last five league games should not deter bettors from siding with the hosts in this encounter.
- They have won five, drawn three, and lost one of their nine home league matches, so the 1.98 about the hosts look attractive, with Plymouth at 3.65 and the draw at 3.2.
Prediction
They have only scored 1.22 goals per home match in 2025-2026, but this is a match that should see lots of fluid play and both sides could well score , making the 'Both Teams to Score' option worth a look.
