Prediction
Exeter avoided defeat last season against Plymouth, but their relegation to League Two suggests they are a level below their hosts.
While Plymouth have improved their squad, the Grecians have made minimal additions and manager Matt Taylor has hinted that he may need to sell players in order to raise funds to bolster his ranks.
With the visitors out of form in pre-season, this looks like an easy day at the office for Plymouth, who have kept four clean sheets in six friendlies.
Any Devon derby is a big occasion, but Plymouth's home advantage and recent form means this tie is theirs to lose and they should start the campaign in style.
