Plymouth vs Derby County Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Joseph King in Championship Predictions
A true relegation six-pointer is in store for Saturday in the Championship as bottom-placed Plymouth Argyle do battle with 22nd-place Derby County for matchday 38. This match could have a significant outcome on which team goes down and which team survives the drop. Read on for our prediction!
After just barely skirting relegation in the 2023/24 season, Plymouth are once again involved in a fight for their Championship lives.
However, a surprise 2-1 away win over Portsmouth on Wednesday has breathed new life into the Pilgrims survival chances and earned them their first away league win of the season. The victory also snapped a six-match winless run across all competitions which included losses in the prior three straight appearances.
Heading into the weekend’s fixtures, Miron Muslic’s side are sitting three points from safety. They have a lot of work to do if they are to start to carve away at their staggering -36 goal differential.
Their opponents, Derby, are experiencing a very similar situation at the moment. While they are one point behind 21st-placed Cardiff, the Rams have strung together back-to-back wins for only the second time all season.
A 2-1 home win over Blackburn last weekend was followed up with a 2-0 home victory over Coventry on Tuesday to revitalize their hopes of avoiding relegation.

Our Plymouth vs Derby County Prediction
Plymouth are a completely different team on the attacking side when playing at Home Park this season. An incredible 78% of their league goals have come at this ground. Combined with their league-worst defense that has allowed 72 goals, the result has often led to high-scoring encounters at this ground.
Derby will be hoping the momentum they’ve picked up in the last two games will help to offset their terrible away results. The visitors should be able to find the net but will likely concede at least one as well. Our Plymouth vs Derby prediction: both teams to score.
