Prediction Plymouth Argyle vs Bradford City 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for League One on 06/12/2025

Preview: a clash of form and fortunes at Home Park

Plymouth Argyle welcome Bradford City to Home Park on 06/12/2025 in a contest that looks, on paper, like a one-sided affair. The Green Army sit rock-bottom in League One, 24th with just 13 points from 15 matches, and their confidence is visibly fragile after a brutal run: five straight defeats in league and cup, including a 1-0 loss to Bristol Rovers in their most recent outing. The home side have struggled to find the net consistently — 18 goals all season and only eight at home — while leaking 28 in total. Those numbers underline a defence that has been porous and an attack that hasn’t been able to compensate.

Bradford City, by contrast, arrive in far better shape in the table. Second with 27 points, Bradford have been hard to beat this term, losing only twice in 15 matches. Their overall attacking numbers are superior: 24 goals scored, a higher total of shots (210 to Plymouth’s 169), and more shots on target (63 vs 54). Bradford’s mix of solidity and firepower has kept them in the promotion picture, even if recent form shows a few wobblers — a sequence that includes draws and a couple of defeats. Still, the overall trend favours the visitors.

Key tactical indicators and recent trends

Home Park has not been kind to Plymouth: their home goal return (8) paired with 10 home concessions paints a bleak picture. Bradford’s away metrics are encouraging — 10 away goals and only 9 conceded on the road — and they bring greater attacking intent as reflected in a higher dangerous attacks average (47.87 compared to Plymouth’s 41.47). Both teams have seen matches with goals this season — Plymouth’s BTTS home percentage sits around 57.14% while Bradford’s away BTTS is 50% — which suggests entertainment is likely, but the balance of quality and results points to an away victory as the likeliest outcome.

Betting suggestion

Recommended bet (1X2)

Given the gulf in league position, season-long consistency and superior attacking metrics, the cleanest play is to back Bradford City to win on the road (1X2). The visitors’ defensive stability away from home and the hosts’ alarming run of defeats combine to make Bradford the sensible pick. As always, manage stakes responsibly and consider form swings — but on the information at hand, Bradford to win is the strongest single-market selection for this fixture.
