Recent respective form guides

Plymouth Argyle's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Pilgrims have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Swindon Town's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The Robins's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 7 against.

Plymouth Argyle find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 13 games have yielded only 8 points.

Swindon Town's 19 points from 13 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...

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