Plymouth Argyle and Southampton are set to clash at Home Park with both teams aiming to continue their undefeated streaks, now at two games each, in the Championship. After triumphing in League One last season, Plymouth Argyle and the recently demoted Southampton from the Premier League have managed to secure four points apiece in their initial two matches of the higher division.

Despite the ongoing speculation around key players, Southampton’s new head coach Russell Martin has remained pragmatic about the team’s season start. Still, he’s set ambitious goals. Accumulating four points from matches against Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich City is a positive outcome. Especially noteworthy is their comeback against Norwich, where they were behind thrice and managed a last-minute penalty for a draw. With Romeo Lavia and James Ward-Prowse leaving, Martin aims to use funds to reinforce the midfield. Depending on their performance against a local rival, he might believe they need more than just straightforward midfield options to compete effectively in this league.

Despite Plymouth making strategic additions during the summer transfer window, uncertainty loomed over their ability to integrate and enhance a team that secured victory in League One last season. Steven Schumacher, the coach, must be pleased with their performance so far, amassing four points from clashes against Huddersfield Town and Watford. The commendable clean sheet achieved at Vicarage Road is as impressive as the preceding 3-1 win over Huddersfield. This has set the groundwork for a season free from relegation concerns. Yet, Schumacher will emphasize the importance of maintaining a level-headed approach, as early success shouldn’t lead to complacency. The Pilgrims need to capitalize on their upward momentum. These teams haven’t met competitively since Southampton’s 3-1 victory in the 2010-11 League One season.
