Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Championship match.
Plymouth Argyle will be aiming to strengthen their bid for Championship survival as they head to face Swansea City. Swansea City remain in a precarious position, just seven points clear of the relegation zone. They’ll be looking to capitalise on home advantage, and the visitors’ expansive style of play could play into their hands.
Swansea City
A narrow 1:0 win over Derby County saw Swansea City climb above Queens Park Rangers and join Preston North End on 48 points, settling in 14th place. That result ended a three-match winless spell, with the team dominating possession at 63%. On home turf, Swansea City have registered 26 goals — a tally surpassed by only three other sides in the bottom half of the standings.
Plymouth Argyle
While their results have been inconsistent, Plymouth Argyle remain one of the Championship’s most entertaining squads. A total of 22 of their 40 matches have gone over the 2.5 goal mark — the fourth-highest statistic in the division. Their recent 2:1 victory over Norwich City closed the gap to safety to just four points. However, their defensive record remains the league’s poorest by some distance, having conceded 78 goals. On the road, Plymouth Argyle claimed their first away win only in mid-March and have let in 43 goals across 20 away fixtures.
Swansea City vs Plymouth Argyle Prediction
In the reverse fixture on matchday 20, goals from Jay Fulton and Liam Cullen on either side of the interval secured a 2:1 win for Swansea City. Playing back in Wales, the hosts are expected to dominate the ball, though Plymouth Argyle’s threat on the break could ensure an open contest. A high-scoring affair looks likely.
