Southampton vs Plymouth Argyle top free betting tips
In-form and free-scoring Southampton welcome Plymouth Argyle to the St Mary's Stadium in what is sure to be a fascinating match. Southampton are in incredible form with the Saints being unbeaten in their sixteen league matches, winning all of their previous three and keeping a clean sheet in all those three matches in the process. Plymouth are also free-scoring having scored eight times in their previous three matches but are coming up against a Southampton team who are just as good at the back as they are in attack.
Correct outcome prediction: Southampton to Win
Southampton are clear favourites as they enter this fixture against another South Coast of England side but are coming up against a stubborn Plymouth side who are more than capable of scoring multiple goals in one match, as they have proved as of late with three being scored against Rotherham and Birmingham and then two against Cardiff in their most recent match. However, this Southampton team are playing incredible football and are getting the results to match. Sixteen matches unbeaten and have won all of their previous six home matches.
Total goals prediction: Over 4.5 Goals
Two of Plymouth's previous three matches have seen 4.5 goals or more with the one that did not, still ending in a 2-2 draw. Southampton won their recent match against Swansea City by five goals to nil and a few matches ago beat Blackburn Rovers by four goals to nil, both at home. Southampton's home form should be a huge worry for Plymouth, especially their defenders.
Correct score prediction: 4-1 to Southampton
Southampton should win this match and they should win it comfortably, The Saints have won fourteen times this season, five of which have been by two or more goals. The defenders of Southampton will be hoping for another clean sheet but with the way Plymouth Argyle operates, we can see the Pilgrims creating enough chances to end a run of three successive clean sheets for the Saints.
