Plymouth vs Luton Tips
Tip 1
Extra defensive work will be needed from Argyle on Friday against an improving Luton outfit. Morgan Whittaker is already used to these requirements as a winger in Rooney’s 4-1-4-1 system, making two tackles against West Brom on Saturday.
Whittaker has reached this line in two of his last four outings, and against Friday’s direct opponents he should increase his streak.
Attacking midfielder Tahith Chong is the division’s second-most fouled player, drawing 16 in his six appearances this season and winning 2+ in five of them.
Alongside Chong, teammate Alfie Doughty has also won a free-kick in each of his last two games, providing quite the threat down Town’s left for Whittaker to meet head on.
Tip 2
Defender Mark McGuinness has been a presence in the opposition box at the start of this campaign, letting off seven shots in his four appearances; although this tally is somewhat inflated by the five he registered against Sheffield Wednesday.
He’s achieved a shot on target in two of these, including their latest victory over the Owls last weekend; immediately establishing value in the 9/4 price.
Plymouth’s two goalkeepers Daniel Grimshaw and Conor Hazard have faced a combined 48 shots on target across their eight fixtures so far; Grimshaw 17 and Hazard 31.
Plymouth Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Argyle’s only win of the season so far was followed up by a spirited 1-0 defeat away at league leaders West Brom; a result which has left Wayne Rooney’s men teetering just above the drop zone.
There are no injury doubts for Plymouth, meaning that they could field the same starting XI from last weekend’s defeat to the Baggies.
Plymouth Predicted XI: Grimshaw; Edwards, Szucs, Gibson, Mumba; Randell; Whittaker, Gyabi, Forshaw, Cissoko; Hardie.
Luton Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Back-to-back victories for the Hatters still leaves them some way from where they want to be at the end of the season, however, this newfound momentum will be eagerly welcomed by boss Rob Edwards, who accrued just one point from their opening four matches.
After Carlton Morris’ substitute heroics in the comeback win versus Sheffield Wednesday, the striker is expected to return to Luton’s three-pronged attack.
Luton Predicted XI: Kaminski; Burke, McGuinness, Mengi; Walters, Walsh, Nakamba, Doughty; Morris, Chong; Adebayo.
