Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Championship match.
Watford have finally returned to the top six, contending for Premier League spots, while Plymouth Argyle have risen slightly above the relegation zone, sitting in 18th. Both teams' positions remain precarious, and they need to secure points.
Plymouth Argyle
Plymouth Argyle are the worst club in terms of shots conceded over 15 rounds (17.9 per game). Playing at home doesn't improve matters as they still rank last (14.1 per game). Offensively, they struggle with shots on target too (10.5 per match, ranking 22nd), though their performance at Home Park is significantly better (14.6), placing them ninth. This increased activity has helped Plymouth Argyle avoid defeat in all but one of their seven home matches. In five of those games, both teams found the net.
Watford
Watford also concede a lot of shots (14.2 per game), especially away from home (16.4, the fifth worst). As a result, despite holding sixth place in the overall table, Watford dropped to 17th in the away standings, with only two wins and six losses. They managed to defeat Millwall (3:2) and Sheffield Wednesday (6:2), and facing another lower-ranked team shouldn’t pose too many issues, despite the game being away.
Plymouth Argyle vs Watford Prediction
What kind of outcome can we expect from the upcoming game: 1:0 or 3:2 (in either direction)? More likely, it will be closer to the latter. The average number of goals in Plymouth Argyle's matches is 2.7, while for Watford, it's 3, so both teams to score seems a reliable bet.
