Southampton, Recent FormIn their last match Southampton enforced their superiority over Swansea City with a 5-0 home win. They achieved 60% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 9 hitting the target, up against Swansea City's tally of 4 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
It's clear that Russell Martin, their manager, will be very satisfied with his side's performance over the last 6 matches, a spell which has seen them notch up 14 goals and only give 2 away. They're currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets, and over the course of the season they've scored in 22 of their 24 games played so far.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 6 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 8 games.
On an individual basis, Adam Armstrong will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 12 goals in Southampton's 24 league games this season.
Plymouth Argyle, Recent FormA 2-2 draw and a point gained against Cardiff City in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Plymouth Argyle last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Cardiff City had 18 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Manager Neil Dewsnip will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 10 goals they managed at the other end. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 12 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
On an individual basis, Morgan Whittaker will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Plymouth Argyle's last 6 league games.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Southampton running out winners in a match that ended 1-2.
The Pilgrims will be looking to extend their current run of 3 clean sheets at St. Mary's Stadium when they visit Southampton. The last 4 matches between Southampton and The Pilgrims show that Southampton have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
Plymouth has lost the last 2 times they've faced Southampton in the league.
Southampton manager Russell Martin has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. James Bree (Hamstring), Juan Larios (Unknown), Ross Stewart (Muscle) and Kamaldeen Sulemana (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Neil Dewsnip has a number of injury concerns in his Plymouth squad to contend with: Mustapha Bundu (Shin), Michael Cooper (Knee), Saxon Earley (Ankle) and Ryan Hardie (Concussion)
