Recent respective form guides

Plymouth Argyle's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Pilgrims have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Huddersfield's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Terriers have hit 8 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Plymouth Arg. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 13 points from 12 matches. Huddersfield's total of 20 points from their 12 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Npower League One.
