Leeds United vs Plymouth Argyle Prediction and Betting Tips | January 27th 2024

Leeds United will face Plymouth Argyle at Elland Road on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 FA Cup campaign.

The home side are enjoying a strong run of form at the moment and will be looking to carry that momentum into the domestic cup this weekend. They faced Peterborough United in the previous round of the tournament, winning 3-0 with Ethan Ampadu scoring a goal either side of a Patrick Bamford second-half stunner.

Leeds faced Accrington Stanley at this stage of the competition last season, winning 3-1, and they will be targeting victory here as well.

Plymouth Argyle are also playing well at the moment and are now pushing for the top half of the Championship standings. They beat League Two side Sutton United in their tournament opener earlier in the year, with Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee Luke Cundle opening the scoring in the first half before Ryan Hardie and Morgan Whittaker joined the now-departed Englishman on the scoresheet in the second.

The Pilgrims have been knocked out at this stage of the competition in two of the last three seasons and will hope they can find better luck this time around.
