LiontipsPlymouth vs Watford. Prediction (odds 2.22) and bets on the Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Plymouth are playing in the Championship for the second season in a row and have been successfully coping with the task of maintaining their place. After 15 rounds, Wayne Rooney men are in 18th place in the table with 16 points, but are only one point clear of the relegation zone. Undoubtedly, the results could have been much better, but the team plays poorly away - only two points scored since the start of the season. At the same time, Plymouth are dangerous for any opponent on their home field, as they have lost only once in seven matches played. At the moment, the team is on an unbeaten home streak of five matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sissoko, Gibson, Galloway, Hazard, Edwards and Tijani are all out due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Plymouth have drawn their last two games at half-time
- In three of Plymouth previous five matches, both teams have failed to score
Probable line-up: Grimshaw, Mumba, Schutz, Palsson, Edwards, Forshaw, Randall, Issaka, Al-Hajj, Whittaker, Obafemi.
Current form
Watford traditionally sets itself the goal of returning to the Premier League. At the moment, the Hornets have scored 25 points in 15 rounds played and occupy sixth place in the playoff zone for promotion. In the five previous matches, Tom Cleverley charges suffered only two defeats, and both failures were in away matches - with Leeds (1:2) and Swansea (0:1). It is impossible not to notice that Watford rarely pleases its fans with away successes - only two victories in eight matches played. In the last round, they managed to win Oxford United at home with a minimum score of 1:0.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ogbonna, Dele-Bashiru and Ngakiya are all out with injuries, while the suspended Ebosele will also miss the game.
Interesting trends for betting
- Watford have drawn with their opponents at half-time in three of their previous four matches
- No more than two goals have been scored in three of the Hornets' last four games.
Tentative line-up: Bond, Morris, Sierralta, Porteous, Sema, Dvomo, Luza, Andrews, Baa, Ince, Rajovic.

6.50Tip and bets
The visitors, who are fighting for promotion, are performing noticeably better this season. However, the home field is an important factor in the confrontation between these rivals. Since the beginning of the season, Plymouth has been gaining the lion share of points at its stadium and has lost only once. Watford has been weak away from home, having managed to win only two of its eight away games. We think the hosts will gain at least one point today.
Our prediction is Watford not to lose at odds of 1.68
Bet on total
This season the rivals played each other in the League Cup. Then Watford won at home with a score of 2:0. Both teams are trying to work reliably in defense and it is unlikely that we should expect an abundance of goals scored today.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.22
Bet on the first half
It is worth noting that three of Watford four previous matches ended in a draw in the first half. It is highly likely that the opponents will not force the action on the pitch in the upcoming meeting.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.20
