Plymouth Arg. play host to Sheffield United at Home Park on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Pilgrims are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 3 of the 18 games.
The last time the two teams met at Plymouth Arg. was well over fifteen years ago, back in September 1989, when they played out a goalless draw in a Second Division match.

Recent respective form guides
Plymouth Argyle's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Pilgrims have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Sheff. Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The Blades's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 6 against.
Plymouth Arg. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 35 points from 33 matches. Sheff. Utd. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola Championship, picking up 48 from their 31 games so far.

FootyMad's prediction ...
