"Starting with the hosts, while Plymouth might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign in the midst a public crisis, the Pilgrims have turned an essential corner on either side of opening the New Year. Last seen putting in a gritty performance as they secured an eye-catching 1-0 victory away at Peterborough, Tom Cleverley's men will now have their sights firmly set on mounting a late charge for the play-off places."
"Extending on their EFL Trophy adventure earlier in the month as they secured an action-packed 4-3 win against Bristol Rovers, the former Watford boss should find the mood in his camp at a season-high. Laying down. Real marker on January 4th as they claimed a thumping 3-0 win against Burton, Plymouth have won their last three matchups across all competitions by an aggregate score of 8-3."
"As for the visitors, while Luton might open this weekend's fixtures sat within touching distance of finding a route into the play-off places, the Hatters have shown some extended inconsistencies this season. Despite coming from behind as they snatched a 2-2 stalemate at home against Lincoln last time out, Jack Wilshere's men have faced some public backlash this year."
Plymouth have regained form since the New Year, securing wins including 1-0 at Peterborough and a 3-0 victory over Burton, plus an action-packed 4-3 EFL Trophy win. The Pilgrims have won their last three matches across all competitions by an aggregate 8-3 and have suffered only one defeat in nine matches since early December. Luton sit close to the play-off places but display extended inconsistencies, managing just three wins in their previous ten appearances and facing public backlash after mixed results. The Hatters have shown notable struggles away from home, undermining their play-off push.
