Plymouth secured a draw from their crucial away match against fellow strugglers Luton earlier this week, but they have been much stronger at home than on the road. They will feel confident as they prepare to face Cardiff in today's early kick-off.
Cardiff are still deeply involved in the relegation battle and their performance away from home has been quite poor.
Team news
Plymouth striker Ryan Hardie is still dealing with a back problem that kept him out of Argyle’s midweek game against Luton, making him doubtful for this match. Brendan Galloway and Joe Edwards are also out due to injuries.
Meanwhile, Cardiff midfielder Aaron Ramsey has returned from a hamstring injury and might play, but David Turnbull, Ollie Tanner, and Isaak Davies are likely to be unavailable. Jesper Delend is also uncertain for the game.
The stats
Plymouth have earned 82% of their Championship points this season at their home ground.
Cardiff have lost their last two away matches in the league by a combined score of 9-1.
The Bluebirds have conceded 34 goals in 16 away league games, averaging 2.13 goals per game.
Cardiff won the previous encounter 5-0 in October and have not achieved a double over Argyle since the 1948/49 season.
On the other hand, Plymouth currently have the weakest defensive record in the league, having conceded 67 goals in 33 matches.
Prediction
Under the guidance of new manager Miron Muslic, Plymouth's performances have significantly improved, and they could maintain their positive momentum with a victory over Cardiff, who are also struggling.
The Green Army has clinched all six of their league wins at home and have triumphed in their last three games at Home Park, including a surprising 1-0 victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup.
In their recent home game, they thrashed Millwall 5-1 and might have the upper hand against Cardiff, who have struggled away from home this season.
Cardiff has only managed one win in 16 away league games and suffered a heavy 7-0 defeat at Elland Road recently.
With both teams fighting to maintain their status in the second division, the match may not be a classic, but Plymouth should have what it takes to secure their fourth consecutive home win.
