Plymouth won the promotion to the Championship after a successful League One season for the 2022-23 season, topping the table with 101 points in 46 matches. In the 2023-24 season, Plymouth Argyle did not have the same fortune as they were relegated into the Championship. However, the new change for Plymouth this time was when they replaced their manager with Wayne Rooney as their new permanent manager for the 2024-25 season. However, the team has not been going so well with Rooney as the captain and has won only three matches in their first 12 league matches. Plymouth now hasn't won in the last four games after some brief good results.
Plymouth Argyle Predicted Lineup
Grimshaw; Palsson, Szucs, Pleguezuelo, Mumba; Randell, Gyabi; Whittaker, Al Hajj, Cissoko; Obafemi
Portsmouth form
Portsmouth was promoted to the Championship last season and won the League One title with 97 points.
However, they have also been struggling in the early stages of the 2024-25 season, bottoming out with just nine points from 13 games. They won only one of the last 14 games, and today against Plymouth is exactly what they are targeting – winning the game, and that will end the current losing streak and also seven games losing streak against Plymouth in the Dockyard Derby.
Portsmouth Starting Line Up
Schmid; Devlin, Poole, McIntyre, Ogilvie; Potts, Moxon; Ritchie, Lang, Murphy; Yengi
Plymouth Argyle vs Portsmouth Expert Predictions
Brendan Galloway, Conor Hazard, Joe Edwards, and Lewis Gibson will be absent for this game as they continue to nurse their injuries.
In the last game, Plymouth were outplayed by Leeds United and failed to take a single shot, and Rooney might make some changes in this game. The visitors have missing personnel through injury concerns of Colby Bishop, Conor Shaughnessy, Ibane Bowat, Jacob Farrell, and Paddy Lane. Andre Dozzell hasn't been confirmed as certain for the game, having been withdrawn after 82 minutes of the previous match, maybe making room for Owen Moxon in the starting eleven. Both teams struggled at the start of the 2024-25 season; however, in a match being played at home, Plymouth Argyle could win an important game.
