History of the Plymouth Argyle v Watford fixture

Watford face a trip to Plymouth Argyle at Home Park on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hornets will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 17 and win only 6 of the 32 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2009, the Pilgrims carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Plymouth Argyle's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Pilgrims have scored 8, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Watford's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Hornets's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 11 goals for and 9 against.

Plymouth Arg. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 2 points from their 6 games thus far. Watford's 9 points from 6 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
