Match Facts
Southampton are looking to complete a Football League double over Plymouth Argyle for the first time since the 1965-66 campaign.
This is Plymouth’s first away league game against Southampton since a 1-0 win on the opening day of the 2010-11 League One season.
Southampton haven’t won their final league game in any of the last 12 calendar years (D6 L6) since winning 4-1 against Huddersfield Town in 2010.
Plymouth Argyle have won their final league match in five of the last eight years (D2 L1), including in each of the last two (2-0 vs Cheltenham in 2021, 1-0 vs Wycombe in 2022).
Southampton have lost their last five home league games against newly promoted teams, failing to score in each of their last four, including a 1-0 loss to Ipswich in September.
