Plymouth Argyle v Burnley Odds and Match Preview

Kick-off: 8pm UK Time, Wednesday 22nd January 2025

After two games, Plymouth Argyle are still looking for their new manager bounce and are now five points adrift at the foot of the Championship table, therefore we’re far from confident about their chances of success against promotion-chasing Burnley tonight.

Attacking options boosted

Plymouth Argyle have now gone thirteen games without a win in the second tier, the Pilgrims going down 1-0 to Queens Park Rangers in their last outing. Wayne Rooney has now departed and it is up to new boss Miron Muslic to turn things around at Home Park, the Austrian managing just a single point from his first two games in charge. Indeed, Plymouth’s last Championship win came on November 5th when they got the better of Portsmouth, however with just three defeats from thirteen home games, a run of three straight matches at Home Park gives Muslic a decent chance to get things onto an even keel. The arrival of Michael Baidoo from Elfsborg will bolster the Pilgrims’ attacking options and hopes are high that this will be the signal for a turnaround in fortunes.

Defensive solidity

After leaking 78 goals in the top-flight last term under manager Vincent Kompany, Burnley have been enjoying plenty of defensive solidity this time around with the Clarets conceding a mere nine goals in 27 Championship outings, far less than any other second tier outfit. James Trafford was the star against Sunderland on Friday evening, the England keeper keeping a clean sheet against the promotion rivals while saving two penalties along the way, however despite being on course for the best ever defensive campaign in the Football League, Burnley sit outside the automatic promotion berths as things stand.

Increase proficiency

The Clarets clearly need to increase proficiency up front should they wish to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking, their last five outings returning three goal-less draws. Nevertheless, against bottom side Plymouth Argyle, we believe that Scott Parker’s men should be good enough to secure all three points in what looks set to be a narrow victory.

Back Burnley to win 1-0 at best odds of 5/1
