Plymouth Argyle vs Luton Town Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Hatters have gotten the better of Pilgrims in the last five outings.

Plymouth Argyle are yet to start the season in their best form under Wayne Rooney after managing to win once in the opening six matches. The Pilgrims who are playing their trade for the second time in the EFL Championship after securing a historic promotion to the second tier of English football last term find themselves in the 20th position in the standings. 

The Pilgrims nearly escaped relegation last term after managing to finish one point above Birmingham. Their run in the Carabao Cup also came to an end after suffering a 2-0 defeat against Watford in round two. 

Meanwhile, Luton Town are back to the Championship after getting relegated from the Premier League. The Hatters haven’t enjoyed the best start to the new campaign after managing to gather just seven points from six matches. However, they have done well in the last two matches securing consecutive victories for the first time. 

Goal-scoring has been a major problem for Rob Edwards after scoring five goals from six matches. The Hatters’ goal difference is also minus three for now after conceding eight goals. Hopefully, they start to produce the results to secure promotion back to the Premier League.

Players to Watch

Ryan Hardie (⁠Plymouth Argyle)

Ryan Hardie has been one of the consistent performers for the Pilgrims having netted goals in double digits for the past two seasons. This season, he has managed to score just two goals and will be aiming to improve the tally to guide them to the Premier League next season. Hardie is an experienced head who knows what it takes to succeed at Plymouth with the current season being his sixth with the club. 

Elijah Adebayo (Luton Town)

Elijah Adebayo is one of the most important players for Hatters. His excellent physique and tall height helps him to be the focal point upfront. However, things have not gone well for him this season after failing to score in any of the seven matches.

A player who was scoring goals against the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea in the Premier League last term will be hoping to get back on the score sheet to guide Luton back to the Premier League next season.
