Plymouth vs Leeds Prediction & Betting Tips (6 February)

In this FA Cup, Plymouth first got the better of a resident of League Two 4th division, Sutton 3-1, before drawing at Leeds 1-1 and forcing a replay of this round of 16. Comfortably installed in the soft underbelly of the Championship, the Pilgrims occupy 16th place in the standings with 8 points ahead of the red zone and 9 units behind 6th place. After going 5 games without a win, 4 draws and 1 defeat, they resumed their march forward with successes against Cardiff 3-1 and Swansea last weekend 0-1. Leeds did not succeed at home , to defeat Plymouth in this round of 16 of the FA Cup 1-1 and therefore finds itself forced to play, away from its bases, a replay this Tuesday. In the previous round, Daniel Farke's men easily won at Peterborough 0-3 who play in League One 3rd division.

Relegated from the Premier League last summer, Leeds are fighting for promotion this season. 3rd in the Championship, Patrick Bamford's teammates have been running at full speed for several weeks, as evidenced by the current series of 5 victories. Last weekend they won at Bristol City 0-1.

The Plymouth manager is without injured goalkeeper Mike Cooper. However, no other absences are to be deplored this week. Since the start of the championship, the team has conceded and scored a lot of goals (5th attack, 19th defense). Morgan Whittaker (23) is currently the Championship's top scorer with 16 goals to which he adds 6 assists. Scottish striker Ryan Hardie (10 goals and 4 assists) also displays good qualities. This winter, Plymouth has strengthened with the arrivals of defenders Sorinola (Union Saint Gilloise), Lino Sousa (Aston Villa) and Ashley Phillips (Tottenham) as well as midfielders Forshaw (Norwich), Devine (Tottenham) and Gyabi (Leeds) . On the other hand, defenders Gillesphey (Charlton) and Earley (Wycombe), midfielder Butcher (Wycombe) and winger Wright (Bradford) have left. On the Leeds side, executives Struijk and James are still missing, the goalkeeper No.

2 Darlow and long-term absentee Dallas, all injured. The squad has few equivalents in the Championship this season. We find many elements who have evolved in the Premier League, such as the French goalkeeper Meslier or the defenders Rodon, Ampadu and Junior Firpo. On the attacking front, Bamford could take his place. In support, winger Summerville (12 goals and 7 assists in the Championship) plays a major role as does French playmaker Rutter (5 goals and 9 assists in the Championship). In the absence of James (10 goals and 6 assists in the Championship), it is the Italian international Gnonto, scorer last weekend, who should start.
