- Northampton have endured a rough run — 5 losses and just 1 draw in 6 recent games. They've conceded 10 goals including a 4-1 loss to Mansfield and a 2-0 loss to Burton, and managed only a 1-1 draw with Peterborough as their sole positive. Without a win in 6, confidence is low, and their defensive record — conceding in every game — is alarming. A team clearly short on quality.
- Plymouth have been outstanding — 4 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in 6. A 3-1 win over Huddersfield, a 3-0 away thrashing of Wigan, and wins over Stevenage and Doncaster show a well-organised side full of confidence. Their only loss was 1-2 to Bolton away, which is no disgrace. They are scoring freely and keeping opponents quiet, with clean sheets in two of their last three.
- Plymouth's momentum is excellent and Northampton have no wins in their last 6 and a leaky defence. This looks a comfortable away win for Plymouth, who have the quality and confidence to put this game to bed early.
