We are looking at Plymouth Argyle v Burton Albion, who meet at Home Park on Saturday 26th September.

Before the match starts Argyle sit in 3rd place and Albion 12th. The clubs have met just 18 times previously, with both winning 6 and 6 draws.

Their first meeting was on 3rd September 2011, a League Two match played at the Pirelli Stadium and the Brewers won 2-1. The matches between their teams have not been goal fests, although the Pilgrims have had the biggest win, 4-0, on 27th September 2025.

Their last meeting was on 4th January 2026 at Home Park. The 14,662 crowd saw Argyle take the lead through Galloway in the 21st minute. The half time score was 1-0. After the break Ross doubled the lead in the 63rd minute. In the 77th minute, a penalty is awarded to Argyle. Tolaj steps up to take it, 3-0. (Tolaj was transferred to Bristol City in the summer transfer window).

This could be an exiting match as both teams like to score goals, Plymouth 14 this season, in League, and Burton 12. They also, both, let in goals, 10 and 12 respectively. A lot for manager’s Tom Cleverley and Gary Bowyer to think about.

Two players connected to both clubs are goal keeper Callum Burton and defender Alex Hartridge.

The Premier League season starts up again this weekend. Our first preview of this season is the match between BRIGHTON and HOVE ALBION v ASTON VILLA on Sunday 23rd August at 2pm at the Amex Stadium.

The clubs have met just 37 times previously with Albion winning 6, Villa 21 and 10 draws. (No wonder Albion fans reckon Villa are one of their bogey teams).

Their first ever meeting was on 5th September 1910. Albion, as Southern League champions, met Villa, the Football League champions, the winner taking the Charity Shield and accolade of Champions of All England. Albion won 1-0. It took another 45 years before they met again, this time in the FA Cup. On 8th January 1955 the clubs drew 2-2 at the Goldstone Ground. The replay at Villa Park on 10th January saw Villa win 4-2. They have met just once more in the Fa Cup. on 23rd January 2010 Villa won 3-2.

The first League meeting between the clubs was on 22nd August 1959, at the Goldstone Ground, a Division Two match, which Villa won 2-1. Over the years BHA and AV have also played against each other in Division Three, Division One, League Championship, and over the last seven seasons in the Premier League. In those 14 PL matches, the Seagulls have only won twice, hence the bogey man team.

Their last meeting was on 11th February 2026 at Villa Park. It was “sods law” for Albion as up until the 86th minute the teams were drawing 0-0. Then Jack Hinshelwood scored an own goal. 1-0 to Villa at full time. Seagull manager Fabian Hurzeler will be hoping for better luck at the Amex this coming weekend.

Over the recent years a number of players have played for both clubs, including James Milner, Steve Sidwell, Darren Bent, Tommy Elphick, Lee Hendrie and Joe Bennett.
