Plymouth Argyle meet Huddersfield in a huge clash in the race for the 2025-25 Sky Bet League One Play-Offs.
Victory would lift Plymouth as high as sixth depending on results elsewhere, whilst Huddersfield can climb to fifth if Stockport and Reading both fail to win elsewhere.
Team News
Herbie Kane is ineligible to feature for Plymouth against his parent club, Huddersfield.
Caleb Watts however is a doubt after he missed Plymouth’s midweek 1-0 victory at home to Stevenage, due to a calf injury.
Brendan Wiredu (abdominal) is ruled out so Caleb Roberts has been recalled from his loan spell at Truro City.
Wes Harding (groin), Ayman Benarous (knock), Bradley Ibrahim, Matty Sorinola (ankle), Tegan Finn, Joe Ralls (both hamstring), Julio Pleguezuelo (calf) and Lorent Tolaj (muscle) remain absent.
Huddersfield have no fresh injury concerns to report following their 2-2 draw at home to Lincoln City in midweek, although Ryan Hardie could be rested after he picked up a knock in that game.
Radinio Balker (adductor), Bojan Radulovic (hamstring), Joe Low (calf), Lynden Gooch (groin), Herbie Kane (PCL), Danny Ward and Rhys Healey (both knee) remain sidelined.
When is Kick-Off?
Plymouth host Huddersfield at Home Park on Saturday 21 March at 3pm, untelevised live in the UK.
Stat Attack
- Plymouth have avoided defeat in three of their last five league meetings against Huddersfield (W2, D1, L2).
- Huddersfield have won one of their last five visits to Plymouth (W1, L4).
- Two of Plymouth’s last three home games against Huddersfield ended in 2-1 wins, whilst the Pilgrims won their recent encounter against the Terriers at Home Park by a 3-1 result in August 2023.
- Plymouth are looking for consecutive clean sheets at home for the first time since January 2026.
- Huddersfield have won one of their last seven away matches (W1, D1, L5).
Prediction
Having edged past fellow play-off challengers, Stevenage on Tuesday evening, Plymouth know that victory here would cement themselves right into the play-off mixer ahead of the final month so they really just need to keep continuing their current momentum.
Huddersfield meanwhile will be kicking themselves for how they chucked away an early 2-0 lead in their draw against Lincoln City, because they did start well and managed the game well despite conceding an unfortunate own-goal shortly after they doubled their lead until a late switch-off was punished.
I therefore am expecting a reaction from the Terriers here but Plymouth are in such strong form, so the first goal could be key as it feels easy to call a draw but I just think Plymouth might nick this.
Prediction: Plymouth 2-1 Huddersfield
Result: Plymouth 3-1 Huddersfield
