Plymouth vs Forest Green Odds, Free Betting Tips & Predictions

Forest Green look doomed already after going winless in the last 15 rounds. Plymouth remain in the top 2 and is on course to a direct promotion but they don’t have room for any errors. With all that in mind, we give you our free betting predictions for this game.

Plymouth to Win & Over 2.5 Goals

Our first Plymouth vs Forest Green prediction backs the league’s best hosts Plymouth (W16 D1 L1) to win again, but also for the game to have at least 3 total goals. With 4 of Plymouth’s last 6 games going over 2.5 goals and Forest Green also involved in high-scoring matches in 3 of the last 4 rounds we think both of these outcomes are very likely.

Hardie to Score Anytime

We continue our free betting tips with the proposal to consider Plymouth’s top goalscorer Hardie (13 goals) to get on the scoresheet again against the worst team in the division. Hardie has scored in exactly 50% of Plymouth’s home matches so far and he is clearly in great form right now as he has now scored in all of the last 3 home games. Now he faces a team that hasn’t kept a clean sheet in 16 games. Surely, Hardie is already planning his goal celebrations come the weekend.

BTTS

Our final Plymouth vs Forest Green prediction is for both sides to score. Despite their awful 16-game winless run (D3 L13) Forest Green tend to score goals. They managed that in all of their last 3 matches. Plymouth are also a high-scoring team and 4 of their last 6 games had BTTS finishes.

Plymouth vs Forest Green Lineups, Match Preview and Latest Team News

Plymouth

Plymouth’s direct promotion chances suffered a hit last weekend when an undeserved 0-3 defeat was suffered against Barnsley. Argyle dominated large periods of this match and the only thing that was poor in their display was their finishing of chances. Plymouth remain in control of their own destiny but have no room for more errors.

Some changes to the lineup are possible, especially if all of the recently injured important squad members Grant, Scarr and Wright pass late fitness tests since they all have resumed training. The only serious absentee is the main goalie Cooper. He is out for the season and in his absence, Burton has been shaky between the posts.

Forest Green

Forest Green are now winless in 16 consecutive rounds. Last weekend the Green Devils lost 1-3 at home against Bristol Rovers and for them, survival looks pretty much impossible already.

Some changes to the lineup can be expected. Doohan could start again after being frozen on the bench recently. Goalkeeper Thomas was disappointing when given a rare chance last weekend and he should sit on the bench now.

Starting full-back Casey misses the match due to suspension. Moore-Taylor and Stevenson are out injured, so this limits the options in midfield.
