If you can’t seem to decide on a bet for Plymouth – Derby, check our top betting predictions for this duel here:

Plymouth to Win

Plymouth enter this game boasting the best home record in the entire League One – (W15 D1 L1). At the same time, Derby have been shaky on the road all season with 5 of their 7 league defeats suffered away from home. Added to that, Plymouth edged Derby 3-2 away from home back in September. Considering all that our first Plymouth vs Derby prediction is for a home win.

Over 2.5 Goals

Both teams are fighting for promotion for a reason and they both know how to score goals. All of Derby’s last 4 away games produced at least 3 total goals. Also, 3 of Plymouth’s last 5 home matches were high-scoring affairs. Due to all that our next Plymouth vs Derby prediction is for the game to have at least 3 goals in it.

Over 1.5 Plymouth Goals

Our final Plymouth vs Derby prediction is for Plymouth to score at least 2 goals in the match. This betting tip we make after seeing that Plymouth managed to score at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 home games. At the same time, Derby’s defending on the road lately had been very suspect. The Rams conceded 10 goals in just their last 4 away matches.

Plymouth vs Derby Lineups and Other Team News

Plymouth

Plymouth were solid when beating Charlton 2-0 at home on Saturday. Not only the forward actions were impressive, but defensively things looked great too. Charlton failed to even register a shot on target in this match.

Plymouth’s options for rotation are seriously limited with 4 regular starters missing out injured right now. The back line is weakened as the main goalie Cooper and starting defenders Grant and Scarr are among the injured players. Randall is also ruled out. The direct result of all these defensive issues is the unstable displays, excluding the last one, and this pushes Plymouth to be ultra-aggressive as they try to outscore opponents.

Derby

Derby threw away a 2-0 halftime lead when hosting Shrewsbury on Saturday. In the end, the Rams had to dig deep just to save a point from this game. Derby clearly lost a lot of their momentum in recent weeks with their form in the last 6 rounds nothing more than average (W2 D2 L2).

Rotation is expected and after being benched at the weekend now all of White, Sibley, Mendez-Laing and Collins could start. Bird is back training, but he still lacks fitness and might not travel. This is the only serious injury issue in the squad.
