History of the Brighton & Hove Albion v Plymouth Argyle fixture

Brighton & HA prepare to entertain Plymouth Argyle at Withdean Stadium on Monday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Seagulls are clearly on top, having won 19 and lost only 9 of the 37 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Withdean Stadium was just last season, in August 2004, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Brighton & Hove Albion will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Seagulls have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Plymouth Arg.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Pilgrims have hit 5 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Brighton & HA are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca Cola Championship with a return of just 3 points from their 5 games thus far. Plymouth Arg. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 4 points from 5 matches.
