There's a bonus for Devon-based League One fans to enjoy this week as Exeter City host fierce rivals Plymouth Argyle in a crucial match for both teams. Can the Grecians 'urn' a win against the travelling Green Army? Let's check out our prediction for this south-east Derby game.
It is fair to say that neither side has enjoyed a particularly good season thus far. The currrent League One table makes grim reading for both with Exeter City 19th in the table with 13 points from their 12 games, while Plymouth are 20th in the table, also with 13 points, but with a worse-goal difference, although they have played one game fewer than their rivals.
Exeter come into this game struggling for form, particularly at home. Their sole win in the last eight came in a fortunate 1-0 away win over Lincoln City but they could only follow that up with a lacklustre 1-1 home draw with Reading and then at the weekend, they travelled to Stockport County and came home pointless on the back of a 1-0 defeat.
Plymouth lost all of their first four League One games this season but since then things have improved a little. The Pilgrims have won three of their last six league games (D1, L2). They were comfortable 4-0 winners away to Burton Albion on the road before heading home to draw 1-1 with Wigan Athletic. However, at the weekend they were beaten 2-1 at home by visiting AFC Wimbledon.

Our Exeter City vs Plymouth Prediction
Our prediction for the Exeter City vs. Plymouth Argyle League One match is: Both Teams to Score.
What is notable about the data for these teams is how inconsistent it is, so picking a winner, especially for a derby game, is tough. That said, Plymouth are scoring and conceding plenty of goals. Exeter usually find the net at home, but have also been leaking goals in plenty of games of late. As such, goals should be on the cards here at both ends of the pitch making backing both teams to score the best option to back.
