Brentford vs Plymouth Argyle Predictions

• Brentford have averaged 2.7 goals per game at home in the Premier League this term
• Plymouth have a goal difference of -29 in the Championship – the worst in the division by -12
• Brentford hammered Premier League strugglers Southampton 5-0 last time out

Brentford should ease to victory on home soil

Brentford are in no-man’s land in the Premier League, comfortably clear of the relegation picture but still some way off the European places, and so Thomas Frank may choose to attack this season’s FA Cup.

And that is bad news for Championship strugglers Plymouth, who could be up against it when they visit the Gtech Community Stadium.

Brentford have made their home ground a fortress in the Premier League this season – only Liverpool (23) have collected more points at home than the Bees (22) – and this could be a one-sided affair.

Frank’s side have also averaged 2.7 goals per game at home in the league this term and face a Plymouth side who sacked Wayne Rooney after just seven months in charge at the end of 2024.

Managerless Plymouth could be outclassed

The Pilgrims have been in the hunt for Rooney’s successor and sit bottom of the Championship with 20 points from 25 games and an eye-watering 53 goals conceded.

If Brentford select a strong team for this match as expected, it could get embarrassing for Plymouth and the Bees are a value pick at -2 goals on the handicap.

In terms of a correct score pick, 4-0 looks a wise selection given that Plymouth have drawn blanks in three of their last four games, failing to score against Coventry, Oxford and Stoke City.
