Plymouth Argyle Confident After Portsmouth Win Ahead of Derby Match

Defender Julio Pleguezuelo has participated in Plymouth Argyle’s three most recent Championship fixtures. The Plymouth Argyle defender stated that the late 1-0 win over Portsmouth has given them the belief they can secure their first away victory. This triumph, achieved on Tuesday, marked the Pilgrims’ first success in five games, with Michael Obafemi’s late goal securing three points for an Argyle team that had, at times, appeared lacklustre. Despite this, the Pilgrims have not secured an away victory this season; their away performance, consisting of one draw and six defeats, represents the poorest record in the second division. The team is scheduled to visit newly-promoted Derby, a match that will see head coach Wayne Rooney make his initial return to the Rams since his departure from the club in 2022. “It’s given us a lot of confidence going into the game on Saturday,” the Spaniard told BBC Radio Devon. “We expect a very tough game, we can see ourselves with Derby being a similar team, the same kind of objective, so it’s really important to go out there and get the three points.” “We talk a lot about the fact that we haven’t won away yet and our away form is not great. But we’re sure we’re going to come with the right plan to try and take the three points.” “We just have to keep building our confidence and gain momentum playing away from home and we’re gong to get there.”
