Pompey win gives Argyle confidence for Derby trip

Julio Pleguezuelo has featured in Argyle's last three Championship matches

Plymouth Argyle defender Julio Pleguezuelo says the late 1-0 win over Portsmouth has given them the belief they can get their first away win.

The Pilgrims achieved their first victory in five games on Tuesday as Michael Obafemi's late goal secured three points for an at-times lacklustre Argyle.

But the Pilgrims have yet to win on the road this season - their record of one draw and six losses is the worst away record in the second tier.

They travel to a newly-promoted Derby side with head coach Wayne Rooney returning to the Rams for the first time since leaving 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."
