Plymouth Argyle play host to Leeds United in a massive final-day decider at opposite ends of the 2024-25 Sky Bet Championship table.
Due to their inferior goal difference, Plymouth absolutely must win and hope that Luton lose at West Brom with a 14-goal swing in their favour if they’re to stay up.
Leeds simply must match Burnley’s result in order to secure the title.

Stat Attack
- Plymouth are winless in their last 11 league meetings against Leeds (D2, L9)
- Leeds are winless in their last five league visits to Plymouth (W4, D1).
- Dan James and Joel Piroe have scored in two of Leeds’ last three league meetings against Plymouth (W3).
- Ryan Hardie has scored four goals in Plymouth’s last three home games (W3).
- Leeds have conceded just one goal in their last five matches (W5), during which they’ve netted 14 goals.
Prediction
With relegation all but mathematically confirmed, Plymouth just need to basically throw the entire house at this game if want achieve victory with a goal swing of 14 goals or more should Luton lose their game, which I just can’t see Argyle mustering up despite their recent improvements.
As for Leeds, this feels like a dead rubber at their end with promotion secured already but there is still the title to win so I do expect them to go full-strength to get the job done and finish the campaign on an absolute high note.
I however don’t think that Plymouth will make this easy if play with the same determination and quality as seen lately but this is surely a Leeds win.
Prediction: Plymouth 1-3 Leeds
