Recent respective form guides

Plymouth Argyle's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Pilgrims have scored 7, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Burnley's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Clarets have hit 4 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Plymouth Arg. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 43 points from 39 matches. Burnley's total of 62 points from their 39 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola Championship.
