Plymouth Argyle - Derby County predictions

Beating Derby County will not be easy, but we believe Plymouth Argyle are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

Despite playing away, The Rams are more likely to win this showdown than the hosts. It’s not a done deal, of course. Considering the betting odds for an away win are set at 2.45, we’re in for a close game.

It’s fair to say Plymouth Argyle are ecstatic after their last round away wins (Portsmouth). They were the 5.91 underdogs to claim three points and this victory of theirs sure feels like the blockbuster result of the entire round.

Derby are coming on the back of a superb performance at their home stadium last round. They were up against a considerably stronger team - Coventry City, yet they spent most of the match ahead, resulting in a decisive 2:0 victory.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

Derby played against Plymouth Argyle earlier in the season and were unable to get anything better than a draw despite the home-field advantage. They’re not on their turf this time around, but that doesn’t change the fact that most bookies see them as the favourites.

With no players out due to injury or suspension, both teams will have their full lineups ready for a thrilling showdown.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.21 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
