Best Tip: Both teams to score

Analysing all relevant stats, including historical head-to-head (H2H) data, we fully expect this fixture to deliver both joy and despair to each set of supporters. We expect both Plymouth and Watford to find the back of the net during the 90 minutes, but the ultimate winner of the fixture seems less clear. Bookmaker's odds also point towards a both teams to score bet, and that looks a wise bet to us.
