History of the Leeds United v Plymouth Argyle fixture

Plymouth Arg. travel to take on Leeds United at Elland Road on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Pilgrims will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them taste defeat on 11 occassions, and draw 5, from the 17 games played.

The last time the two teams met at Leeds Utd. was well over fifteen years ago, back in November 1989, the Whites carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Second Division match.

Recent respective form guides

Leeds United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. A generous 10 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Plymouth Arg.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Pilgrims have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Leeds Utd. find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 30 points from their 25 matches. Plymouth Arg. see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola Championship, showing a record of 32 points from their 25 games played so far,
