Recent respective form guides

Plymouth Argyle's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Pilgrims have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Southampton's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Saints, and 3 goals against.

Plymouth Argyle find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 38 games have yielded only 33 points.

Southampton are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 65 points from 36 games.

Nothing seems to be going right for the Pilgrims at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Saints come away with an easy victory. Away win
