Chelsea vs Plymouth Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by Indran | in FA Cup Predictions
European Champions Chelsea take on Plymouth Argyle in the fourth round of the FA Cup at Stamford Bridge. The hosts are in third position in the Premiership while their opponents in this match are in seventh position in League One. Chelsea have only lost once in their last 14 matches with that defeat coming against Manchester City. While they have been excellent at avoiding defeat, their winning percentage in these 14 matches has not been great. They have had six draws and seven wins during this period. They did however have a crushing win in the last round of the FA Cup when they thrashed Chesterfield 5-1. Chelsea have won 10 of their last 11 FA Cup ties at home with an aggregate of 30-4. Their only defeat in this period was in 2019 when they lost in the fifth round to Manchester United.
Plymouth Argyle will hope to continue their fairytale run when they take on the might of Chelsea in their own backyard. The League One outfit had a great win in the last round when they dumped Championship side Birmingham out of the competition. They are coming off a good 3-1 win over Doncaster in their last match. Plymouth Argyle have struggled for consistency this season but now they are 90 minutes away from causing one of the biggest upsets in FA Cup history. This is their first meeting with Chelsea since 1989 when they lost 1-0 to them. They last beat Chelsea 42 years ago and have lost their previous three FA Cup matches with the London club.
