Over 2.5 Goals

There have traditionally been a lot of goals for the Devonians down at Home Park. The issue for Plymouth at the moment is that most of the goals tend to look like coming in their own goal. The Pilgrims are conceding too many goals, and it is not a fluke, they are also conceding too many chances.

Plymouth’s xG isn’t too bad, 2.8 xG across three matches is ok, not great, but conceding 5.3 xG is the second worst start in the division in this metric.

Leyton Orient have conceded five times in the league themselves, albeit all five were against Huddersfield and Stockport County, generally seen as two of the major contenders for promotion. They have plenty of options in attack now, with Aaron Connolly and Josh Koroma looking like shrewd acquisitions, though they have missed five big chances already, the joint highest in the division, if they had been a little more clinical then they could’ve been one of the league’s highest scorers.

Plymouth Corner Match Bet

One thing that seems very much out of line though is how many corners are being expected in the match for each team. The line is favoured towards Leyton Orient because they are favourites, but looking through the records of the teams I favour Plymouth, especially at the prices.

Argyle have won the corner count in three of their four games this season, and both of the ones at home, 9-5 over Barnsley on opening day and 15-2 over QPR in the EFL Cup. Both matches saw Plymouth go behind early on, but there is every chance that could happen again here. 

Orient are 2-2 with their corner battles, losing their first two but winning the next. Their only away match so far saw a 3-6 defeat to Huddersfield in this market.

Orient seem unjustifiably short here.

Ollie O'Neil to Score Anytime

This looks a stand out price for a player playing as part of the frontline for the favourites in the match.

O'Neill hasn't proven himself to be a frequent scorer yet, but he has established his position on the left of the front 3 and he scored a last minute equaliser last time out which is clearly going to give him some confidence.

When totalling xG O'Neill is at 0.7 across his 225 minutes so far, this averages out to around 0.27 per 90, a fine average for a wide forward albeit off an exceptionally small sample size.

Either way, O’Neill looks very much to me to be in the wrong place in this market. This price puts him alongside the likes of Idris El Mizouni, Ayman Benarous, and Bradley Ibrahim, all good players, but play in CM and aren’t famous for their shots at goal.

  • Plymouth have lost all three league matches so far this season

  • Leyton Orient are enjoying their third consecutive season in League One - they have had continuous league position improvement for the last four seasons

  • Discipline has been an early concern for Argyle - they have nine yellow cards and a red card already this season

Plymouth Argyle need to harness the home spirit that took them into the Championship to try and turn their poor start around, but Leyton Orient look in good shape again this season.

🟢 Plymouth Have to Run a Tighter Ship

To have come down from the Championship and be sitting in the relegation zone with zero points after three games is a pretty unusual and disappointing situation for all concerned with Argyle. There was always going to be a difficult turnaround from relegation and the late decision of Miron Muslic to leave.

It is the way that they have defended so far that has been the biggest issue. Individual errors account for some of the chances they have conceded, but there has to be some quick learning done either by Tom Cleverley and his coaching staff or by the players to improve the organisation systemically.

🔴 Leyton Orient to Get Off the Mark Away From Home

If Orient are to return to the top six again this season, then they need to win points at home and away. They have only played away once so far this season, and, to be fair to them, it is one of the most difficult away matches in League One, at Huddersfield, on opening day, but they will still be disappointed by the manner of that 0-3 defeat.

This, on paper, would have been classed alongside that match as a “difficult place to go” and I’m sure that Richie Wellens would have been impressing upon his team the message that they will need to be 100% on it to get a result here.

📊 Plymouth Argyle v Leyton Orient H2H

There’s actually a very neat head-to-head record in this history, which, to be honest, makes me not want this match to be played at all.

There have been 60 meetings in history between the two, Plymouth have won exactly half (30), and there have been 20 Orient wins and 10 draws. How nicely round is that?

The clubs haven’t been in the same league since 2019/20 in League Two, but they only played once due to the pandemic.

Their last meeting was in the early rounds of the EFL Cup in 2023, Plymouth running out 2-0 winners on that occasion.
