History of the Plymouth Argyle v Watford fixture

Plymouth Arg. prepare to entertain Watford at Home Park on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Pilgrims are clearly on top, having won 16 and lost only 6 of the 31 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Home Park was less than a year ago, in March 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Plymouth Argyle's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Pilgrims have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Watford's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Hornets have hit 5 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Plymouth Arg. are currently lying in 19th place in Coca-Cola Championship having mustered a points tally of 39 from their 35 matches played. Watford find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 39 points from their 33 matches.
