Plymouth and Huddersfield meet at the Home Park for a round one match on Saturday in the Championship.

Plymouth took down Huddersfield in their most recent meeting, and bookmakers deem another win for the home side a likely scenario this coming Saturday.

Plymouth have a hard time getting on the scoreboard these days, as they managed a poorly six goals in their previous ten matches. That is an average of 0.6 goals per game, in which they conceded 15 goals, or 1.5 goals per game. Furthermore, they fought their way to two clean sheets in this run.

Huddersfield scored 17 times in their previous ten matches, an average of 1.7 per game. They also conceded ten goals for an average of one a game, pulling off three clean sheets in these.

This is the first time Plymouth squares up against Huddersfield in the Championship in the 21st century, thus both face a whole new experience of coming up against an unknown opponent.

Plymouth vs Huddersfield Prediction

Plymouth Form

Plymouth are enjoying their football currently with three wins on the bounce, and it began with a 2-0 win against Bristol Rovers. They went on to beat Burton by 1-0, before also getting the better of Port Vale in a 1-3 victory. Plymouth claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Championship, which also saw them drawing one and losing four matches, in which they scored four and conceded ten goals.

It has the look of a season in which a relegation battle will play a major part for Plymouth, who naturally dream of extending their stay in the Championship.

Huddersfield Form

In their last three matches, Huddersfield first beat Cardiff 1-2, then Sheffield United by 1-0 and finally Reading by 2-0. Huddersfield managed a decent return of three wins in their last six Championship away matches, in which they scored seven while also conceding six times. They also experienced one draw and two defeats.

Retaining their Championship status and challenging for a top half finish will be on the agenda for Huddersfield this season.

Having considered the match from different angles, be it form, strength in squad and match history, Plymouth get our vote here. They should have enough to see them through a most likely tricky opponent in Huddersfield.
