Plymouth Argyle's strong away form will be tested against Leicester City in a League One fixture with significant historical context. The Pilgrims head to the King Power Stadium aiming for consecutive victories over the Foxes, a feat not achieved in nearly eight decades.
Argyle currently sit 11th in the League One table with four points from their opening three matches, according to the latest standings. Their record shows one win, one draw, and one loss, with four goals scored and four conceded. Recent form reads WDL, placing them three points behind early leaders Blackpool. This data was reported by the BBC.
What is Plymouth Argyle's recent away record?
Plymouth Argyle travel with confidence built on a solid run of results on the road. They are unbeaten in each of their last seven away league games. Within that sequence, they have managed to secure four victories. This resilience away from Home Park provides a strong foundation for the challenge ahead.
Their next assignment after this trip is another away game, against Doncaster Rovers on September 5th. You can view the full schedule on our fixtures page. Doncaster currently occupy 20th position in the table.
How have past meetings between these teams unfolded?
The historical head-to-head record heavily favors Leicester City, particularly on their own ground. The Foxes have won 15 of the 20 home league games they have hosted against Plymouth Argyle. Argyle's solitary defeat at Leicester's home venue was a narrow 1-0 loss back in February 2008.
However, the most recent encounter between the sides offers Plymouth hope. They defeated Leicester City 1-0 in April 2024. A repeat result on this occasion would see Argyle claim successive wins in this fixture for the first time since October 1946.
What pressure is on newly relegated Leicester?
Leicester City's start to life in League One has been difficult. They find themselves in 21st place with just two points. A defeat here would see them become just the fourth newly relegated team to lose their opening two home games of a League One campaign since the 2004-05 season.
Blackpool and Millwall both suffered that fate in the 2015-16 season. Interestingly, Plymouth Argyle themselves lost their opening two home games last season, showing how quickly fortunes can change in this division. The Foxes will be desperate to avoid an unwanted piece of history.
Plymouth Argyle will look to their squad to continue this positive away trend. Team news and availability can always be tracked on our dedicated injuries section. The focus now turns to executing a game plan that can overcome a historically tough venue and secure a valuable three points.
