This should be quite a match, with Plymouth Argyle in 2nd and Derby County placed 5th. Here's news and statistics!
- Plymouth Argyle have the most scored goals in the second half (37) in League One
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Plymouth and Derby County.
Plymouth Argyle form and stats
15-1-1 is the performance here at Home Park so far in the League One, giving Plymouth Argyle a total of 46 from their 17 games here. Outstanding results!
Plymouth Argyle's last game was hosting Charlton Athletic (placed 16th) and winning 2-0.
Heartbreak before that as Plymouth lost 2-5 at Peterborough United's place.This is expected to be a close game, with Plymouth Argyle perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Plymouth Argyle as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Plymouth Argyle has won 7 of these, drawn 1 and lost 3.
The manager Schumacher will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Barnsley in only four days.
Plymouth have only conceded 12 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
Derby County form and stats
5 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Derby County playing as the away team in the League One this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Derby County are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Derby County played 2-2 against Shrewsbury Town in their previous match. Drawing 2-2 against Shrewsbury Town after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Warne needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. McGoldrick has found the net for this side four games in a row. The know-how! Midfield player Smith was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.72/10. Smith hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 39 successful passes (of 45 total).
A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Cheltenham Town.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Derby County playing away and similar expectations, we found 7 relevant matches. Results were 1 Derby County win, 2 draws and 4 defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the County manager Warne as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Oxford United.
The visiting Derby County have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 18 goals from 16 games. As opposed to that, Derby County have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Plymouth Argyle and Derby County have faced each other already this season: Derby County - Plymouth Argyle 2-3. Head-to-head numbers (for the former ten meetings): Plymouth won four games, zero matches ended with a tie and Derby County have six wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / five.
