Plymouth Argyle will host Hull City at Home Park on Saturday in the second round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The Pilgrims endured a torrid start to life under new boss Wayne Rooney as they suffered a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of a relentless Sheffield Wednesday side in their league opener last weekend.
However, they bounced back in convincing fashion as they beat Cheltenham Town 3-0 in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday featuring goals from three different players including Ben Waine who recorded his first goal since last December.
Hull City, meanwhile, seem to have carried their disappointing pre-season form into the new season as they kicked off their league campaign with a 1-1 draw against Bristol City and had looked set to be headed toward defeat before Oscar Estupinan leveled the scores from the spot in additional time.

The visitors then suffered a 2-1 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in their Carabao Cup opener and will be desperate to pick up their first win of the season this weekend.

Plymouth's latest result marked Wayne Rooney's first win in charge at the club and they will be looking to build on that this weekend. They have won their last three home games and will be looking forward to Saturday's game.
Hull have lost two of their last three competitive games after going undefeated in their previous six. They, however, performed well on the road at the back end of the previous campaign and should have enough to win here.
