Our Three Predictions For Plymouth Argyle vs Peterborough United
- Prediction 1 – Lorent Tolaj To Score – 16/5
- Prediction 2 – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 4/6
- Prediction 3 – Plymouth Argyle To Win – 17/20
First Prediction For Plymouth Argyle vs Peterborough United – Lorent Tolaj To Score – 31/20
The striker is on a hot streak with the Pilgrims at the moment and will surely feel confident to add to his totals against a struggling Peterborough United side. The Swiss international has four goals and assists in three games, in addition to his solitary goal for Port Vale against Stevenage prior to his move to Home Park. It may have been a quiet game against Luton Town last time out for Tolaj, with his only effort being an audacious shot in his own half, which drifted away from Josh Keeley’s goal. He is one of the most prolific strikers in the division, with 20 shots and seven of those being on target ranks him near the top of League One forwards in those metrics.
Second Prediction For Plymouth Argyle vs Peterborough United – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 4/6
The defensive records of both sides suggests this should be a goal fest. No other sides have conceded as much as these two, with Argyle leading the league with 17, two more than Darren Ferguson’s side have managed. Posh, alongside Blackpool, are the only teams not to have kept a clean sheet so far this season in the third tier, with their poor defensive record extending back to April. United’s poor defensive record extends into last season, their last shutout coming in April when defeating Birmingham City in the EFL Trophy final. With these two teams on shaky ground at the back, the forwards in this match should have a field day.
Third Prediction For Plymouth Argyle vs Peterborough United – Plymouth Argyle To Win – 17/20
With Tom Cleverley’s team looking to have turned a corner in recent weeks, the Pilgrims should have a good chance of extending their win streak to four. Peterborough have not looked up to task as of late, but despite their poor start they have finally found a win against fellow strugglers Wycombe Wanderers. Darren Ferguson’s side have claimed all of their points so far at London Road, while Plymouth have got two wins under their belt in Devon. With the goals scored record sliding in favour of Argyle, the Home Park side should be able to outscore a weaker attack and claim another three points to climb further up the table.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Plymouth Argyle are firmly on the path of recovery after an appalling start to the season, which included heavy losses to Barnsley, Bolton Wanderers and Cardiff City, leading to calls for chairman Simon Hallett to invest further into the club during the transfer window. That happened late on in the window, with Lorent Tolaj being signed for a large fee, which coincided with an upturn in results leading to a three-game winning streak ahead of this game. The last two matches were high-scoring battles, with Argyle beating Stockport County and Luton Town by 4-3 and 3-2 scorelines respectively. However, they did not leave Kenilworth Road without a few scrapes, with Kornel Szucs and Caleb Watt both sustaining injuries.
Peterborough United meanwhile have finally launched their season with a much-needed win against Wycombe Wanderers with Matthew Garbett and Jimmy-Jay Morgan scoring and holding firm despite a Fred Onyedinma goal for the travelling Chairboys. Despite picking up three points, Posh remain bottom of the third tier with four points, the other coming in a draw against Bradford City. Those two goals lifted the Cambridgeshire side from the bottom of the goalscoring charts, leaping over Burton Albion.
In recent history, it has been Peterborough that has had the upper hand in the fixture. Posh have won eight games to Argyle’s four, with no draws contested. The honours were split in their last league contests in the 2022/23 season. Argyle won 2-0 at Home Park, before a thrilling 5-2 United win at London Road, putting a brief but inconsequential wrench in Plymouth’s title triumph that campaign. Three days prior to their first match that season saw the most recent away win in this fixture, when Posh won in the EFL Cup first round.
