Our Three Predictions For Sheffield United vs Plymouth Argyle

- Third Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals – 47/100
First Prediction For Sheffield United vs Plymouth Argyle – Both Teams To Score – No – 33/50
Sheffield United are the heavy favourites heading into this game. The Blades returned to the top of the Championship with a 1-0 win over Millwall on Wednesday night, whilst Plymouth’s miserable campaign continued with a 2-1 defeat against Swansea City on Tuesday. The Pilgrims are in serious danger of relegation and enter this game on a five-game winless run. Chris Wilder’s side haven’t lost at October and have been exceptionally strong at Bramall Lane. They are yet to lose in front of their own supporters, winning all-but-one of their home league games. Furthermore, they haven’t conceded a goal at S2 since drawing 2-2 with Queens Park Rangers in August.
Second Prediction For Sheffield United vs Plymouth Argyle – Sheffield United -1 Handicap – 71/100
This prediction is more indicative of Plymouth’s form rather than Sheffield United’s. Whilst the Blades keep winning, they’re not blowing teams away and have only won by more than one goal once in their last seven league outings. However, Plymouth are in dire straits at the moment, especially away from home. Their last two away fixtures have seen them lose 6-1 to Norwich City and 4-0 to Bristol City, whilst they have also suffered heavy losses on the road against Leeds United, Cardiff City and Sheffield Wednesday this season.
Third Prediction For Sheffield United vs Plymouth Argyle – Under 3.5 Goals – 47/100
As stated above, Sheffield United have a habit of winning games by the odd goal. Their favoured scorelines this season are either 1-0 or 2-0, with those two results making up 11 of their 20 games thus far (excluding defeats). They did win 3-0 against Oxford United at Bramall Lane last month but with Plymouth struggling in front of goal, the under 3.5 goals market could prove tempting.

Full Preview of the Game: Last Results and Head-To-Head
This is a game between two teams at very different ends of the spectrum. Sheffield United have lost just two games in the Championship this season and currently sit top of the table. They are in a close race for the title with Yorkshire rivals Leeds United, with the pair swapping the lead on numerous occasions in the past few weeks. The Blades did drop points away at West Bromwich Albion last weekend but recovered with a 1-0 victory at Millwall on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Plymouth have slipped into the relegation places which was compounded with a 2-1 defeat against Swansea at Home Park on Tuesday. It was a bitter blow for Wayne Rooney’s team, who have heavily relied on their home form this season, having lost just once in front of their own supporters prior to the visit of the Swans. However, they have been dreadful on the road and are yet to record a victory.
This will be the first meeting in the league between the pair in 14 years, when Sheffield United edged a thrilling encounter 4-3 at Bramall Lane. They have met twice in the FA Cup since – in 2014 and 2021 – with the Blades winning both ties. Plymouth haven’t beaten the Yorkshire-based outfit since 2007.
