Plymouth Argyle 3-3 Middlesbrough

Current streaks

Recent form

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle are currently experiencing a concerning run of form, finding themselves in 23rd position in the Championship table. The Pilgrims have failed to secure a victory in their last six matches, enduring a particularly troubling four-game losing streak. Their defensive woes are evident, having conceded a staggering 17 goals in this period, including a 6-1 thrashing by Norwich City. Argyle's goal difference of -12 over these six games highlights their struggles at both ends of the pitch, with the team managing just 0.83 goals per game whilst conceding an alarming 2.83. The lack of clean sheets and the fact that 67% of their matches have seen over 2.5 goals suggest that Plymouth are involved in high-scoring affairs, albeit often to their detriment. With both teams scoring in two-thirds of these fixtures, Argyle's matches are proving entertaining for neutrals, but the team's inability to turn draws into wins and their defensive fragility are major concerns as they battle against relegation.

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, currently sitting in 6th position in the Championship with 34 points from 21 games. Their last six matches have yielded three wins, one draw, and two losses, demonstrating inconsistency in their performances. The Boro have been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring an impressive 12 goals in their last six outings, averaging 2 goals per game. A standout result was their high-scoring 6-2 victory away at Oxford United, showcasing their attacking prowess. However, their defensive record has been less impressive, conceding 8 goals and keeping only one clean sheet in this period. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 67% of these matches, indicating that Middlesbrough's games tend to be entertaining affairs with goals at both ends.
