Cambridge United vs Plymouth Argyle predictions serve up a genuine League One top-six meeting, with fourth-placed Cambridge, beaten just once all season, hosting a streaky but dangerous Plymouth at the Abbey Stadium. Kick-off is 3pm on Saturday.
Cambridge are flying in fourth on 20 points from 11 games, with only one defeat and a knack for always finding the net. Plymouth sit fifth on 19 from 12 but blow hot and cold, capable of beating anyone or losing heavily. It makes for an intriguing afternoon.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects goals in a meeting of two positive sides and picks accordingly.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Ben Knight To Score Anytime | 9/4 (Ladbrokes) | Knight has been Cambridge’s most consistent attacking threat, top-scoring with four goals across 11 appearances and operating in the pockets where he gets regular sights of goal. Cambridge have scored in every single league fixture this season, so the hosts’ chief creator-finisher is a logical anytime pick against a Plymouth side that has conceded 17 times overall and 10 on their travels. At 9/4 with bet365 the price reflects that he is not an out-and-out striker, but his goal involvement and Cambridge’s relentless scoring make him a strong fit for this open-looking contest at the Abbey. |
| Cambridge United to win and both teams to score | 10/3 (Sky Bet) | Both teams have scored in 10 of Cambridge United’s 11 League One games, and Cambridge have scored in every one of them. They are unbeaten in their last five, with two wins, and have scored 10 goals in six home matches. Plymouth Argyle have scored 10 goals on the road but conceded 10 as well, and they have lost three of their last five. Sky Bet’s 10/3 on a Cambridge win with both teams scoring fits the pattern of their season. |

How Cambridge United go into the game
Cambridge go into this fourth on 20 points from 11 matches and unbeaten bar a single loss. They drew 2-2 at home with Wycombe last time out, having won 2-1 at Barnsley and 1-0 at home against Blackpool, with 1-1 draws against AFC Wimbledon at home and Oxford away also recent.
The standout trait is their reliability in front of goal: Cambridge have scored in every league game this season. At the Abbey they have taken 3W-2D-1L from six, scoring 10, though only one clean sheet all term hints that goals at both ends are common when they play.
How Plymouth Argyle go into the game
Plymouth arrive fifth on 19 points from 12, though their recent form is all or nothing. They were beaten 3-0 at Stevenage last time out and 2-0 at home by Huddersfield, either side of a 2-1 home win over AFC Wimbledon, a 2-0 victory at Leyton Orient and a 1-0 home loss to Burton.
On the road Argyle have actually been productive, winning three of six and scoring 10, but they also concede, with 10 shipped away and 17 overall. Aribim Pepple leads their scoring with four, and a side that both scores and leaks on its travels suits an open game at the Abbey.
Cambridge United vs Plymouth Argyle head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 22/04/23 | Plymouth Argyle | 3-1 | Cambridge United |
| 10/12/22 | Cambridge United | 0-0 | Plymouth Argyle |
| 22/02/22 | Cambridge United | 2-0 | Plymouth Argyle |
| 17/08/21 | Plymouth Argyle | 1-1 | Cambridge United |
| 22/02/20 | Plymouth Argyle | 0-0 | Cambridge United |
The sides have not met in the league since April 2023, when Plymouth won 3-1 at Home Park. Before that Cambridge won 2-0 at the Abbey and the clubs played out a couple of goalless draws, so recent history is low on goals. With both teams in very different form to those seasons, current numbers are the better steer.
