Recent respective form guides
Southampton's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Saints have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.
Plymouth Arg.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Southampton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 19 points from 18 matches. Plymouth Arg. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola Championship, picking up 28 from their 18 games so far.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Saints at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Pilgrims come away with an easy victory. Away win
