Recent respective form guides
Sheffield United have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. The The Blades's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.
Plymouth Arg.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Pilgrims have hit 5 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Sheff. Utd.'s 21 points from 16 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position. Plymouth Arg. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola Championship, picking up 24 from their 16 games so far.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Sheff. Utd. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the The Blades will at least gain a draw. Score draw
