Plymouth Argyle host Leeds United in the final round of games in the EFL Championship on Saturday. The two teams are on opposite halves of the points table.
Daniel Farke's Leeds are coming off a 4-0 home win over Bristol City on Monday. Ao Tanaka gave them a half-time lead before Wilfried Gnonto doubled their advantage 10 minutes into the second period. Largie Ramazani's late brace was the icing on the cake.
Having already confirmed Premier League promotion, the Whites - with a fifth straight win - lead the standings with 97 points from 45 games, winning 28, ahead of second-placed Burnley on goal difference. A win will confirm a league triumph for Farke's side unless Burnley win by an improbable 14-goal margin.
Meanwhile, Miron Muslic's Plymouth are fresh off a 2-1 win at Preston North End last weekend. Mustapha Bundu and Callum Wright put them 2-0 ahead after 75 minutes. Emil Riis Jakobsen pulled one back in the 90th minute, but an equaliser wasn't to be.
Despite their second straight win, Muslic's side are 23rd in the standings, with 46 points from 45 games, winning 11. Their drop to the third division is almost sealed unless they beat the league leaders by 14 goals and many other results go their way.
On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the Plymouth-Leeds Championship clash at Home Park.

Plymouth vs Leeds United prediction
The two teams have had markedly contrasting campaigns. While Plymouth are almost certain to endure the drop - even with a win - Leeds are on the cusp of winning the Championship.
Moreover, the league leaders have absolutely dominated Plymouth in head-to-head meetings, winning nine of their last 11 league clashes - including the last five. The run includes four straight league wins at Home Park.
The Pilgrims' late-season resurgence might have come too late to keep them in the division. Considering Leeds' dominance in the fixture, expect the Whites to take a comfortable win and potentially seal the title.
