Current streaks

Recent form

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the club struggling to find consistency in their Championship campaign. Currently languishing at the bottom of the table in 24th position, the Pilgrims have managed just one win in their last six matches across all competitions. Their defensive record has shown some improvement, with two clean sheets in their last four league games, but goal-scoring remains a significant concern. The team has averaged less than one goal per game in this period, with 83% of their matches seeing under 2.5 goals scored. A notable bright spot came in their FA Cup victory against higher-ranked Brentford, suggesting the team can compete when the pressure is off. However, their league form, characterised by a series of draws and low-scoring affairs, indicates a team battling to avoid relegation.

Burnley

Burnley have shown impressive form in their recent fixtures, maintaining an unbeaten run of 15 games, which is a notable streak for the Championship side. The Clarets have been particularly solid defensively, keeping five clean sheets in their last six matches and conceding only one goal during this period. Their goal-scoring prowess has been modest, averaging one goal per game, with a standout performance in their 3-1 FA Cup victory against Reading. Burnley's defensive resilience is further highlighted by the fact that 83% of their recent games have seen under 2.5 goals, while both teams have scored in just 17% of matches. Currently sitting third in the league table with 53 points from 27 games, Burnley's consistent performances, characterised by a mix of wins and draws, have positioned them as strong contenders for promotion.

Recent home/away form

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle's recent home form has been characterised by a lack of victories, with the team failing to secure a win in their last six matches at Home Park. The Pilgrims have shown resilience, however, managing to draw four of these encounters. Their most recent outing resulted in a narrow 1-0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers, breaking a run of four consecutive draws at home. Notably, Plymouth have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly the 3-3 thriller against Middlesbrough and the 2-2 draws with Bristol City and Watford. The team's defensive frailties are evident, having failed to keep a clean sheet in this period and conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game. On a positive note, Plymouth have been finding the back of the net consistently, scoring in five out of six matches and averaging 1.5 goals per game, contributing to the impressive 83% rate of both teams scoring in these fixtures.

Burnley

Burnley have been in exceptional form away from home, showcasing an impressive unbeaten run in their last six matches on the road. The Clarets have secured five victories and one draw during this period, demonstrating their resilience and consistency in challenging environments. Notably, Burnley have kept four clean sheets in these six away fixtures, highlighting their solid defensive organisation. Their attacking prowess is equally commendable, with the team scoring 10 goals at an average of 1.67 per game. The recent FA Cup victory against Reading, where Burnley netted three goals, stands out as their highest-scoring away match in this run. With a goal difference of +8 and only two goals conceded in six away games, Burnley's away form has undoubtedly contributed significantly to their strong position in the Championship table.
