◆ CheckLive verdict
Slight edge — Plymouth Argyle
Plymouth's 3-1 win over Coventry is the freshest head-to-head marker, yet the Sky Blues arrive unbeaten in five away trips. The 59% lean is narrow, not commanding: home advantage and marginally stronger form numbers nudge Argyle ahead, though this remains a close call.
