Friday’s Football Tips: Plymouth Argyle a little overpriced for more Home Park joy

Action in the EFL gets back underway tonight, with an intriguing Championship clash between Plymouth Argyle and Watford taking top billing.

Wayne Rooney's start to life at Home Park has been a mixed bag so far, with Plymouth sitting in 18th place but still just one point above the drop zone.

Tonight they face a Watford side sitting fifth and looking to continue a fine run of form that has seen them win three of their last four games.

But Plymouth can take heart from their excellent home record, with Rooney's side losing just once on the south coast all season and winning five of their eight games.

Plymouth Argyle vs Watford top betting tips

Watford claimed a stunning 6-2 win at Sheffield Wednesday earlier this month but that was just their second win on the road all season. Seven of their nine away games in all competitions have ended in defeat so I'm surprised to see the Hornets as short as 23/20 with Betano.

Plymouth are 19/10 shots and that might be worth a punt with four of their last five at home ending in victories. It's probably safer backing a tight game and the half-time draw appeals at 5/4, while McBookie price a one-goal winning margin for either side at 13/10.

We've seen five cards or more in the last four games for Watford and the last two for Plymouth. That makes me think it could be a busy night for the ref so over 42.5 booking points looks good at 5/4 with Betfred.

Queen's Park vs Falkirk top betting tips

There's a big game in the SPFL Championship tonight as well and it will be interesting to see how leaders Falkirk respond to their weekend loss as they travel to Queen's Park.

The Bairns had the chance to open up a nine-point lead when they faced Livingston on Saturday but the gap is now just three after the Lions ground out a 1-0 win.

It was also a bad weekend for Queen's Park as they lost 3-2 at Ayr but their form had been excellent before that, with just one defeat in 11 games.

These sides faced off in the first league game of the season and it was a cracker as Falkirk won 2-1 at home. That makes me think we'll see goals at both ends tonight and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays 43/40 with Betano.

Bairns star Callumn Morrison has made three appearances off the bench since returning from injury and could start tonight. He's 10/3 for anytime scorer and that looks overpriced if he does get the nod.

Cheltenham Town vs Tranmere Rovers top betting tips

Cheltenham Town and Tranmere Rovers are hovering a little too close to the League Two drop zone for comfort so they will be both be targeting a victory when they collide tonight.

A seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions ended for 17th-placed Cheltenham last weekend as they lost 3-2 on the road at MK Dons.

Tranmere have won their last two after losing three in a row so it's a tricky one to call. Betano make Cheltenham Town slight favourites at 11/8 and that price looks worth a punt with home advantage.

BTTS has failed to land in six of the last seven meetings so there could be some value in betting against that tonight at 9/10 with Betano.
