Plymouth Argyle vs Huddersfield is a proper scrap at the top of League One, with the leaders hosting a promotion rival at Home Park on Saturday afternoon.
Tom Cleverley's side sit two points clear at the summit, and the Plymouth boss wants Home Park turned into a fortress. On current evidence, they are building one.
Huddersfield, under Martin Drury, are firmly in the promotion mix, but letting a winning position slip in the closing minutes against Sheffield Wednesday showed they can wobble late on.
The hosts have the upper hand historically too, with a spotless record on home soil against this opponent across all competitions in recent meetings, a pattern the visitors must break.
Plymouth Argyle vs Huddersfield Form
Plymouth have won 5 of their last 6 matches in League One, and they have scored at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 in League One. Xavier Amaechi's stoppage-time winner in a home win over AFC Wimbledon summed up a side that keeps going until the very end.
Huddersfield are undefeated in 9 of their last 10 matches in League One, so this is a stubborn outfit that rarely gets beaten. Joe Taylor is the main man up top, recording at least one shot on target in 7 of his last 7 League One appearances.

Plymouth Argyle vs Huddersfield Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Plymouth to edge it 2-1. The Plymouth Argyle vs Huddersfield betting odds can barely separate these two, with Plymouth 13/8 with Coral and Huddersfield the same price with Sporting Index, so this is a genuinely tight fixture. Even so, the leaders' home record and their attacking intent are enough to tip it their way, with Huddersfield still getting on the scoresheet.
Best Bets
Both Teams To Score: Yes. Plymouth and Huddersfield both carry a goal threat at Home Park. Both sides have gone over 2.5 goals in their recent League One outings, and Huddersfield are rated among the best around for carving out scoring opportunities. Our 2-1 call needs both nets rippling anyway, and neither defence looks watertight.
Joe Taylor to score at any time in the Anytime Goalscorer market. Taylor is nailed on to lead the line if he starts as expected, and his habit of testing the goalkeeper every week makes him the obvious route to Huddersfield's goal. Plymouth's back four can struggle against skilful attackers, which suits a striker in this sort of form.

Plymouth Argyle vs Huddersfield Talking Points
This is a clash of styles. Martin Drury has called Plymouth one of the most direct attacking sides in the division, and he is right: they go long, cross often, take a lot of shots and are dangerous from attacking set pieces. Tom Cleverley respects the visitors as a "really solid" side, and Huddersfield's strength in aerial duels will be tested by all those balls into the box. The flip side is that Plymouth are not great at keeping the ball, and Huddersfield love a through ball and a quick counter. If the hosts get sloppy in possession, this could get messy at both ends, which is exactly why our Plymouth Argyle vs Huddersfield best bets lean towards goals.
