Derby County vs Plymouth Argyle Prediction and Betting Tips | November 9th 2024

Derby County will host Plymouth Argyle at the Pride Park Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have enjoyed a largely encouraging return to the English second tier and now sit 13th in the table with 18 points from 14 matches as they continue their push for safety.

They picked up a shock 2-1 win away at Coventry City last time out, with Jerry Yates opening the scoring after just 11 minutes before an own goal from their opponents saw the Rams double their advantage. Despite a late onslaught from the Sky Blues, Paul Warne's side held firm as they secured their first away win of the season.

Plymouth Argyle also find themselves fighting for survival early in the season after a difficult run of results last month. However, they returned to winning ways earlier in the week with a 1-0 win over last-placed Portsmouth, with Burnley loanee Michael Obafemi coming off the bench to score the game-winner for Wayne Rooney's side.

The visitors remain in the drop zone with 15 points and will be looking to take inspiration from their latest result when they hit the road this weekend.
