Plymouth Argyle 2-1 Blackburn Rovers

Current streaks

Recent form

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six games resulting in 2 wins and 4 losses across all competitions. Currently sitting 17th in the Championship with 8 points from 8 games, the team has struggled to find consistent form. Their defensive record is a concern, having conceded in all six recent matches and failing to keep a clean sheet. However, they've shown the ability to score, particularly in their home games against Luton Town and Sunderland, both of which were high-scoring affairs ending 3-1 and 3-2 respectively. The team's goal difference of -2 and their tendency for lower-scoring games (67% under 2.5 goals) suggest tight contests, but they've struggled to turn these into points, especially in their recent run of three away losses across league and cup competitions.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have shown mixed form in their recent games, with their last six matches resulting in two wins, two draws, and two losses. Despite this inconsistency, they currently sit in a respectable 5th position in the Championship with 15 points from 8 games. The team has demonstrated defensive strength, keeping three clean sheets in their last six matches, including impressive 3-0 and 2-0 victories against Bristol City and Queens Park Rangers, respectively. However, their most recent game saw a heavy 3-0 defeat to Coventry City, which marks their largest margin of defeat in this period. Interestingly, half of their recent games have seen over 2.5 goals, while the other half have been lower-scoring affairs, indicating variability in their match outcomes. Their goal difference of +1 and average of 1.17 goals scored per game suggest a team that is competitive but not dominant in attack.

Recent home/away form

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle's recent home form shows a positive trend, with the team currently on a two-game winning streak at home in the Championship. Their last six home games have seen them secure three wins, two draws, and only one loss, indicating a strong performance at their home ground. The team has been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with three of their last six home games featuring at least four goals. Notably, Plymouth Argyle has been particularly prolific in their last two home matches, scoring three goals in each game against Luton Town and Sunderland.

With 67% of their games seeing both teams score and going over 2.5 goals, Plymouth Argyle's home matches have been entertaining affairs for the fans.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers' recent away form presents a mixed picture, with their last six games showing a gradual decline from wins to draws and ultimately a loss. The team's ability to find the back of the net has been inconsistent, with a standout high-scoring game against Stockport County in the League Cup (6-1 win) contrasting sharply with their most recent 3-0 defeat to Coventry City. Notably, Blackburn managed three consecutive draws in Championship matches, demonstrating resilience but also an inability to secure victories. Their defensive record has been relatively solid, conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets in the process. The team's overall goal difference remains positive, and their total goals average of 2.83 per game suggests entertaining matches for spectators. Interestingly, exactly half of their games saw both teams score, and there's an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals, indicating a balance between defensive stability and offensive output in their away performances.
