Match Preview
Plymouth Argyle finds itself teetering on the edge of the relegation zone, sitting 18th in the standings with just 16 points from 15 matches. Their performances have been marred by inconsistency, especially in away games, where they have yet to secure a victory.
In their last outing, Plymouth managed a 1-1 draw on the road against Derby County, following a home win over struggling Portsmouth. However, defensive frailties remain evident, highlighted by a heavy 3-0 loss to Leeds and a 3-3 draw with Preston, where they clawed back from a three-goal deficit.
Watford, on the other hand, started the season strongly but endured a rough October, resulting in a drop to sixth place in the standings. With 25 points from 15 matches, the Hornets trail the league leaders by six points, having registered eight wins and six losses.
In their most recent match, Watford narrowly defeated Oxford United 1-0 at home, marking their third win in their last four Championship outings. However, their away form is concerning, with only two wins and six losses in eight road games.
Probable Lineups
- Plymouth Argyle: Grimshaw; Mumba, Schutz, Palsson, Edwards; Forshaw, Randell, Issaka; Al-Hadji, Whittaker, Obafemi
- Watford: Bond; Morris, Sierralta, Porteous, Sema; Dele-Bashiru, Louza, Andrews; Bayo, Ince, Rajovic
