Plymouth will be hopeful of getting on the board after an unlucky opening game to the new Championship campaign which left them empty-handed.

Plymouth and Hull have high hopes for this new season and should be expected to put up a good game as they chase three important points in round 2.

Plymouth scored five times in the last ten outings for an average of 0.5 goals a game. They conceded 13 and managed three clean sheets.

When it comes to goal-scoring Hull are not the most prolific side. They scored a sustainable 16 times in their previous ten matches, making it 1.6 goals per game. They conceded 15 goals for an average of 1.5 a game, achieving a clean sheet in two of these matches.

The last time the pair played each other Plymouth came away as 1-0 winners, and rest assured they have a similar outcome in mind on Saturday.

Plymouth vs Hull Prediction

Plymouth Form

Plymouth beat Hull by 1-0, lost 4-0 against Sheffield Wednesday, before defeating Cheltenham 3-0. Plymouth only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Championship matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew one and lost three, as they scored three and conceded five goals.

Hull go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, and if they can build some momentum early on, perhaps even throw their hat in the ring for a place in an international tournament.

Hull Form

Hull only managed to gain a single draw in their past three games. First, they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Plymouth. Then a 1-1 draw with Bristol City followed, before Sheffield Wednesday claimed a 1-2 victory. In their last six away matches in the Championship, Hull won twice, while also recording two draws. They endured two defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying seven goals conceded and seven scored.

A top half finish is the bare minimum Hull will expect from this season. The visitors are targeting a spot in an international tournament and know a good start will leave them in a good stead.

This particular encounter between Plymouth and Hull looks a little trickier for the favourites, than prices with the bookmakers suggest. All things considered, though, we still believe, the visitors have enough about them to pull off a win this coming Saturday.

Plymouth vs Hull Betting Tips

Despite scoring just once in six Championship games, Plymouth hope Joe Edwards adds to his collection of goals sooner rather than later. Meanwhile, Hull put their faith in Oscar Estupinan to handle the home side defence and double up on his recent strike rate of one goal in six Championship games.

Plymouth won three of the previous 10 home matches across all tournaments, while drawing two and losing five as well. Hull won two from a possible 10 away from home, as they also drew three and lost five in this run. It would seem we shouldn't expect goals from both teams in this encounter this coming Saturday. Both teams to score happened only three times in the last 10 home league matches for Plymouth. Both teams scored in six of the previous 10 league games away for Hull.
