Plymouth vs Middlesbrough Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Joseph King | in Championship Predictions
Relegation candidates Plymouth Argyle take on sixth-place Middlesbrough on Saturday for matchday 22 of the English Championship. The hosts, who are currently in the 22nd position, can potentially move out of the drop zone with a win. Here’s our match prediction.
Plymouth managed to just survive relegation last season by the skin of their teeth, beating Hull City on the final day to see them survive by a single point. The 2024/25 campaign is shaping up similarly as their points total of 17 sees them one point from safety as we get closer to the halfway point in the season.
The hosts fell to another defeat last weekend as a 2-0 away loss to Sheffield marked their fourth straight. The saving grace for Plymouth is that they have been solid at home, where they’ve earned 15 of their 17 points.
Middlesbrough come into this contest holding a slim goal differential lead over seventh-place Watford for the final promotion playoff spot. They’ve been in mixed form as of late with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five.
In their latest outing, Boro was able to secure all three points after a 1-0 home win over Millwall thanks to a first half Latte Lath goal. The visitors have been one of the Champioinship’s most potent attacking sides with 35 goals scored.

Our Plymouth vs Middlesbrough Prediction
Plymouth have really struggled since last season’s top-scorer, Morgan Whittaker, went down with an injury. The Pilgrims have lost their last four consecutive games without the 23-year-old. However, three of those were away from home and we believe a return to home soil should see them net at least a goal.
Middlesbrough matches have seen plenty of goals so far this season. They possess the fifth highest mark for average goals per match at 2.86. They should be able to find the net a few times against this vulnerable Plymouth defense. Our Plymouth vs Middlesbrough prediction: both teams to score.
If your team in the Plymouth and Middlesbrough game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
If you want to place a bet on the moneyline in the Plymouth vs Middlesbrough game, then bet365 is the place to do it. If the team that you have bet on takes a 20-point lead in the game, then bet365 will pay your bet out as a winner. If your team goes on to lose, you are still a winner.
