Match preview: Plymouth vs Derby
Plymouth and Derby face off at Home Park, in a fixture for the 38th round of the Championship. In their previous encounter in this competition on 09 November 2024, the match ended in a draw (1-1). The recent head-to-head record favours the home side, who have secured 2 wins and 1 draw from the last 3 encounters.

After 7 wins, 12 draws, and 18 losses, the home team sits in 24th position with 30 points. In their last match, they triumphed over Portsmouth (1-2), following a home loss to Sheffield Wednesday (0-3) in the previous fixture. This team often performs better at home, achieving 5 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses at Home Park, compared to 2 wins, 4 draws, and 9 losses as visitors. Defensively, Plymouth has struggled, having conceded at least one goal in every match for the last 10 matches in this competition. Notably, 12 of their last 18 home matches concluded with over 2.5 goals. The team rarely opens the scoring first, having done so in only 8 out of their last 37 Championship games, winning 5 of those 8 by the end of the match.
Plymouth Argyle enter this motivated match after their recent victory against Portsmouth, with goals scored by Mustapha Bundu and Ryan Hardie. The home team typically employs a 3-4-3 tactical formation, with Mustapha Bundu, Ryan Hardie, and Callum Wright as their main attacking threats. The midfield is orchestrated by Jordan Houghton, who plays a crucial role in developing their attacking plays. Manager Miron Muslic will be unable to field Matthew Sorinola due to suspension, along with Julio Pleguezuelo, Muhamed Tijani, and Brendan Galloway, all of whom are injured.
Team analysis: Derby
The visitors currently sit in 22nd place, having accumulated 35 points from 9 wins, 8 draws, and 20 losses. In their penultimate match, they achieved a home victory against Blackburn Rovers (2-1). Their most recent fixture saw them beat Coventry City (2-0) at home. Derby has been stronger at home, suffering a poor record as visitors with only 1 win, 6 draws, and 8 losses in their last 30 matches away, compared to 5 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses at their stadium. In the Championship, they earned 3 points from a possible 30 from their last 10 away games.
In their last 10 away matches, they have failed to secure a single win. The most common scoreline at halftime for them in away games has been 0-0 (7 out of 18 matches). Their defensive frailties are evident, having conceded goals in 8 of their last 10 matches in this division. Out of their 37 matches so far, they conceded the first goal 21 times, failing to turn the score around on any occasion. Notable is that in their last 18 away fixtures in this competition, they scored 5 out of their 14 goals between the 61st and 75th minutes.
Derby County approaches this match following a 2-0 win over Coventry City, with goals scored by Matt Clarke and Marcus Harness.

Coach John Eustace is expected to miss Nathaniel Méndez-Laing, Ben Osborn, Lars-Jørgen Salvesen, David Ozoh, Corey Blackett-Taylor, Dajaune Brown, and Curtis Nelson due to injury concerns.
