Match Facts
Plymouth Argyle are unbeaten in their last five home league games against Preston North End (W2 D3) with this set to be their first time hosting Preston since a 1-1 draw in March 2010.
After a 2-1 home win earlier this season over Plymouth Argyle, Preston North End are looking to complete a league double over the Pilgrims for the first time since the 1995-96 fourth tier campaign.
Plymouth Argyle have lost each of their last three home league games without scoring, last losing more in a row at Home Park in October 2017 in League One (5 in a row).
Preston North End have won their last two away games in the Championship and could win three in a row for the first time since November 2020 (4 in a row).
Preston boss Ryan Lowe will travel to Home Park for the first time as a manger since departing Plymouth Argyle in 2021, who he managed 103 times across League One and League Two; Lowe lost his last two games in charge of the Pilgrims at the stadium.
