Plymouth Argyle Preview – Can the Pilgrims stretch unbeaten run to five?
Ryan Lowe’s Plymouth Argyle have kicked off their League One season with two wins, two draws and one defeat. They find themselves in 14th spot at present, just two points adrift of the top six.
The Pilgrims are unbeaten in four in the league since starting their season with a 2-0 reverse to Rotherham United at the New York Stadium. They have beaten Gillingham and Shrewsbury Town and drawn with Cambridge United and Fleetwood Town.
Argyle will want to keep their undefeated run in the league going for as long as possible. Sheffield Wednesday are no doubt one of the big hitters in the third tier, but Lowe’s boys will fancy their chances. The bookies are offering 2/1 for a home win.
Sheffield Wednesday Preview – Owls to return to Sheffield with maximum points?
After the heartache of Championship relegation last season, Sheffield Wednesday do not plan on being in the third tier of English football for long. In truth, a club of this size and stature should be playing regularly in the Premier League.
Wednesday have made a solid enough start to their campaign, winning three of their opening five League One fixtures. After successive wins over Doncaster Rovers, Fleetwood and Rotherham, the Owls were beaten for the first time in the league in their last one, losing 1-0 at Morecambe.
