Plymouth Argyle vs Leeds United Prediction and Betting Tips | February 17th 2024
The EFL Championship returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Plymouth Argyle and Leeds United lock horns at Home Park on Saturday.
Ian Foster’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in their previous nine games against the visitors and will be looking to extend this dominant run.
Plymouth Argyle were left disappointed on Wednesday as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Coventry City after conceding a 96th-minute equaliser in front of their home supporters.
Foster’s side have now failed to win their last three matches, losing twice and claiming one draw since a 1-0 victory at Swansea City on February 3.
Plymouth have lost 12 of their 31 Championship matches so far while claiming nine wins and 10 draws to collect 37 points and sit 15th in the league table.
Leeds United, meanwhile, continued their pursuit of an automatic return to the Premier League as they hammered Swansea City 4-0 last Tuesday.
Daniel Farke’s men have now won four games on the bounce in all competitions, including a 4-1 victory over Plymouth Argyle in their FA Cup fourth-round replay on February 6.
With 66 points from 32 matches, Leeds are currently second in the Championship table, two points above third-placed Southampton just outside the automatic promotion places.
