Plymouth are set to face Swansea in the Championship on Tuesday, 10 December in a match between two teams currently out of form.
The hosts had the benefit of having the weekend off after their clash with Oxford United was postponed due to bad weather which should allow them to come into this fighting fit.
Swansea drew with Luton at the weekend and could do with a win here to get themselves back into the top half of the table.
As part of this week's round of Championship betting tips, here is our Plymouth vs Swansea prediction.
Contents
Key stats
- Plymouth haven't lost a game at Home Park since the end of August.
- Swansea haven't won a match by two goals since the middle of August.
- Both teams have scored in six of Plymouth's eight home league matches this season.
Correct score prediction: Plymouth 1-1 Swansea
Plymouth at Home Park are a very different proposition to Plymouth away from Home Park so Swansea will have their work cut out to take all three points away from this match, particularly as they aren't in great form themselves. We expect action at both ends and the spoils to be shared.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Swansea start as odds-on favourites
- HOME: 14/5 (3.80) – 26.3%
- DRAW: 5/2 (3.50) – 28.6%
- AWAY: 19/20 (1.95) – 51.3%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
The Plymouth vs Swansea odds suggest that the Welsh outfit should come away with a win on Tuesday night but their status as odds-on favourites feels a little misplaced. Plymouth have been given just a 26.3% chance of winning the match despite their strong home form while Swansea have been given a 51.3% chance of victory.

Most recent H2Hs: A fixture for the visitors
Plymouth and Swansea have only met three times since 2010 due to the fact both clubs have rarely been in the same division. Last season, Swansea enjoyed an away victory at Home Park while Plymouth enjoyed a win at the Swansea.Com stadium which suggests this could be a fixture that benefits whoever is the away side.

Plymouth preview: Home points are needed
If Plymouth's away form was their norm then Wayne Rooney would likely be out of a job once again but at home, his team are a different animal. This week, Rooney has added experienced coach, Mike Phelan, to his backroom staff and while it will be too soon to see the impact of Phelan's on Tuesday, the added experience on the bench could prove vital.
Predicted lineup: Grimshaw (GK), Palsson, Pleguezuelo, Gibson, Ogbeta, Roberts, Obafemi, Randell, Forshaw, Mumba, Gray

Swansea preview: A team in limbo
Swansea City are having a very familiar season and as we approach the halfway mark of the season, it still isn't clear whether they are going to be playoff dark horses or relegation candidates. Beating teams below them feels key to avoiding the latter so a loss on Tuesday would be considered very disappointing.
Predicted lineup: Vigouroux (GK), Key, Cabango, Darling, Tymon, Grimes, Franco, Ronald, Cullen, Peart-Harris, Vipotnik

Player to watch: Daniel Grimshaw
Daniel Grimshaw may have shipped ten goals across his last two appearances for Plymouth Argyle but the 26-year-old goalkeeper still managed to make a combined 12 saves against Bristol City and Norwich. Grimshaw will be hoping that his defence can help him out a bit more on Tuesday night but if they can't, then he will be in for another busy night.
