Watford

Watford will be looking for an improved result here following a 1-0 Championship loss in their previous game against Oxford United.

In that match, Watford managed 62% possession and 16 attempts on goal with 4 on target. On the other side, Oxford United had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target. Siriki Dembélé (82') was the scorer for Oxford United.

Their most recent results show that not much more can be done by the Watford backline. Watford have given the opposition little, with the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their last 6 matches standing at 3. We will just have to see whether or not that trend will be sustained in this game.

Their previous form shows that Watford:

• are unbeaten in the league by Plymouth Argyle in their last 5 matches.
• have left without a victory over Plymouth Argyle in their last 3 league matches.

✨ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Plymouth Argyle certainly have the ability to find the back of the net against this Watford outfit, however it might not be as many as they’ll concede.

Our tip is for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 victory for Watford when all is said and done. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
